Part of an ongoing project to visualise a more realistic and lore-accurate scale to Tamriel – so here’s Riverwood – now with sixteen times the detail! Finally got around to Riverwood – just a bit more fleshed out as a village – and also trying to capture that slightly magical ‘first time walking into’ feeling at the start of the game...

![Virtual Aquarium | Forest in a (Water) Bottle | UE5 [4K]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qtZhPbMZ31U/mqdefault.jpg "Virtual Aquarium | Forest in a (Water) Bottle | UE5 [4K]
Been a (another) hot minute, but if you’re new here, this was a type of (literal) test-bench scene I was doing back in the Early Access phase of Unreal Engine 5 a few years ago – mostly with the aim of testing out the different new features that UE5 had to offer and then later on, figuring out what had changed or which bugs had been fixed which each new version of the engine.
In particular, 5.6 introduced a new form of (experimental) ray traced translucency through the Lumen hardware ray tracing pipeline – which wow – really makes a big difference and makes very challenging scenes like this even possible without path tracing at all. Although it has to be said that it also seemed to cause some weirdness with Niagara systems, with collision and rendering, both with translucent and non-translucent mesh renderers…? Granted I was using cpu-based ray tracing collisions? Hopefully just a bug with how the pipeline works...
Rendered out in Unreal Engine 5.6.1 on an Nvidia RTX 3090 using Nanite for most meshes, Lumen for GI and reflections and a combination of Megascans, Blender modelled & textured assets, and third-party assets.
(also now with even wayyy more fish!)

Just a quick snapshot of some of my favourite 3D art works that Ive done these past few of months. Rendered in realtime using the Unreal Engine 5 game engine. #shorts
Blender was used for some asset creation and simulations, Quixel megascans for some 3d assets and texturing. Marketplace contect for specialised assets. All final outputs done in UE5.

So it’s been about a year since I started posting my Unreal Engine 5 journey here, and honestly it’s flown by. From wading my way through the sea of bugs in Early Access, to the final release of UE5, it’s been a hell of a ride! And having my work featured in the Unreal Engine 5 release keynote and the creators sizzle reel was an amazing highlight to finish off this first year in Unreal 5!
I thought I’d gather together a showcase of some of my favourite scenes I’ve done; from re-imaginings of games like Dragon Age and Mass Effect, to oceans and indoor terrariums. It’s been great to put UE5 through its paces, testing out Nanite, Lumen and new workflows to take advantage of the power of realtime rendering.
These scenes are from various projects ranging from Early Access 1&2, Preview 1&2 to the full 5.0 release. Do note that especially for the earlier EA scenes, some features are incomplete or missing (like Lumen not fully supporting plants etc...)
Its been a blast playing around with Unreal Engine 5! Here’s to many more to come!

I made Sadrith Mora in Unreal Engine 5 – at a more realistic and lore-accurate scale! Part of an ongoing project to visualise a more realistic and lore-accurate size to Tamriels cities, removed from gameplay and technical restrictions.
Sadrith Mora is where Morrowind really gets kinda weird. The houses are mushrooms, the buildings and towers are mushrooms. Just … so many mushrooms…
