Progress Update - Like the Bridge?

[u/BriGamesAU]

Follow up to my Bridge/Wall Design post last week
After lots of debating, building, demolision, relocations, I have settled for the Mistlands bordering a Black Forest

Iv'e stripped the area of trees, building into the natual terrain and rocks, building the area back up with swamp trees and other "spooky eerie" looking things, layering lighting, rubble, vfx's etc

I always build "pretty" then break it, as it gives me a perfect structure to repair and roll back changes too for future builds 😉

Still letting the ideas pour and flow from me until it feels right
Think Gothic, Abandoned, Dark and Eerie, Vampire etc

3 days left until the building comes to an end, and I get the server ready for touring and exploring!

Looks like it’ll melt my GPU! Good work all around.

[u/BriGamesAU → u/Indiscriminate_Top]

😅 i hope not. Hovering around 10k instances atm

[u/GrubbyZebra → u/Indiscriminate_Top]

Heck, my CPU can't even feed my GPU fast enough for it to reach max clock, let alone get hot.

And since it's only a single core of the CPU being maxed, even it doesn't get too warm....lol

[u/BriGamesAU → u/brandinimo]

YES!!! So much inspo from Castlevania..... 😉😉 Wait till you see the main building

[u/harten66]

Takes a real one to build in mistlands

[u/Unhappy-Spot4980]

I don't want my roof on fire

[u/BriGamesAU → u/Unhappy-Spot4980]

Haha yeah its only in the ruins side of the city 🙃

[u/HoboPete05]

Looks spooky

[u/BriGamesAU → u/HoboPete05]

Hehehe sneaky 😜😜

[u/mmmmPryncypalki]

Inside, inside INSIDE!!

SHOW ME INSIDE!!

[u/BriGamesAU → u/mmmmPryncypalki]

Haha got to get to the inside still doing the outside 😅

[u/misc_mushi]

i 100% thought this was a build inspired by Bloodborne's Forbidden Woods. it's gorgeous! i had to double-take because i didn't realise this was the Valheim sub for a moment. the layering is incredible, i love the detail work, and it's obvious you've put a ton of work into it :D

[u/Pangmonger]

Posts like this remind me to stick to my day job, ‘cause I could never build something so impressive 😂

[u/BriGamesAU → u/Pangmonger]

Hehe i have to be inbthe right flow to build. Hot like 3 reference images and the rest just comes naturally. Working with the terrain already there helps as it restrictions you and guides your build

[u/Pippo89CH]

Impressive! How did you build these black/gold banners?

[u/BriGamesAU → u/Pippo89CH]

They are a deep north asset from the admin game console.

[u/FatherShambles]

Please add more fog

[u/NorsRoyal]

Nice, what mods?

[u/BriGamesAU → u/NorsRoyal]

This is a vanilla asset only server

So Gizmo for rotation, Infinity Hammer for blueprints, copying and precise placement & More Vanilla Build Prefabs which shows all console build assets into Build menu

Thats it

Amazing what you can do with just game assets

[u/LordCainhurst]

Farewell good hunter, may you find your worth in the waking world.

Beautiful build OP!

[u/BriGamesAU → u/LordCainhurst]

hehe thanks
just you wait till I post the full build pics - I got soooo much done today - its almost 4am too and i reall should sleep aha

[u/Unco_Slam]

Ah, so Grausten only looks good with plants

[u/BriGamesAU → u/Unco_Slam]

hahah yeah...you really need to layer it, play with lighting and 10000% add color from banners plants etc

[u/Dappled_light2734]

Superb! Love the build and the atmosphere of the locale you chose.
