    How do you make this wonderful panorama shots, they look so real and every time I see one, I just want to throw myself at it, hehe forest and landscape scenes are my favourite ones, Skyrim offers so many incredible views.

      I'm very glad to hear you like them and feel free to jump in with your imagination anytime you want!

      The panorama shots are done with this image program. It's a fantastic tool to stitch images together to make a panorama shot. It's pretty self-explanatory, so just download it and try it for yourself. If it hassles you, just send me a pm and I'll try my best to guide you further on...

      The main reason to why I play Skyrim after all these years is the ability to make beautiful landscape shots. I do a lot of character stuff too, but it was with landscapes it all started for me, so it's very dear to me. This game indeed offers a wide spectra of opportunities!

      Thank you very much!

      I too like it when the road turns within the shot, giving it even more perspective. Luckily this spot was suited for such an angle (often there are trees or other objects blocking the view)...

      Lucy is indeed a very sweet girl!

      I agree with karoshi, I checked the comments to see if someone else saw the shot like this

    Nice shot in the main though he looks a bit lonely walking that road, though that pretty girl below would make good company on that road

      Sometimes a lonely walk is just what you need and sometimes there's a pretty girl at the end of that walk...

      Thank you very much for the comment, Corfus!

      Well, that's my version of "our" Lucy here at Nexus! Tanja and I did a follower of her a while back, but we went with Tanja's character appearance. I figured, I could at least introduce my own version into my own worldspace as well, so she's a very new character in my writing...

      Thanks a lot, Quinten!

      P.S - I will reply to you about your last chapter of Maria and Richter within a few days, my friend. I'm so into my own travel sets at the moment, since I have a bunch of them saved up for upload...

    I like the lushness of this path through the light forest ... a touch of spring.
    But, where light is, is shadow too This lady is very lovely and maybe dangerous. DonĀ“t touch her, you will pay with your life. I think, she knows the wilds. when you are able to win her heart, you won

    Great music ... brings a fantastic connection between both pics.

    You were so productive in the previous days. I think, I will need some time to go back in your gallery. Please forgive

      This is the road leading from Falkreath towards Half-Moon Mill and it's very lush indeed with so many new trees. It's also very green when the sun is shining, but it can be utterly dark too with a heavy rain.

      The lady is more of a joyful and curious young adult actually. She's a commoner - a barmaid - aspiring to become a bard and with a heart for seeing new things in the world. She's not that deadly, not yet at least, but more one of the kind sort. She's also my version of Lucy here at Nexus, since she once said she'd love to be part of one of my adventures. Tanja and I did a follower - and we went with Tanjas appearance for the follower - but I kept my version as a new character in my worldspace...

      I'm glad you find the music connecting the two images! Thank you for this! I sometimes wonder if I spend more time searching for the right music than I do uploading images!

      Yes, I've uploaded a lot of sets recently, but it's alright if you don't have time to see them all, my dear. It's absolutely fine, I assure you! It's my own fault after all, showing so many new sets all the time...

    The way the light plays in that panorama is excellent. Did you increase you shadow draw distance for the shot or do you play with those settings? I have never found shadow settings liked, any advice?

      I'm only using the settings made by the ENB - in this case Rudy ENB for Vanilla - since I'm a real rookie when it comes to making changes in the GUI. I don't know if Rudy increases the shadow draw distance, but that might be it. I also like to keep things pretty natural with a sense of realism, so the Vanilla settings are actually very good for this (at least with Rudy).

      This is from in-game, but I should also say it's about 8-12 different shots in original, stitched together to make the panorama. Maybe the stitching make the shadows appear more clearly, since the resolution of the image is higher? Just guessing though!

      I'm also using Skyrim Flora Overhaul, Tamriel Reloaded HD and Skysight - Simply Bigger Trees and these three together provides both more trees and higher trees which in turn gives more shadows in the game on a sunny day.

      I hope this can give a few answers at least...

      Thank you for your comprehensive answer. I didn't know it took so many images to make a panorama! I think that must be it. The shadow draw distance is in one of the ini files so you must have it on vanilla settings. At any rate it looks great!
