The Serpent Isle Remake: It's Pretty
Thepal has updated the website of his project to remake Serpent Isle in The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, with a short remark:
Lately I’ve been playing Fallout New Vegas, and all my Serpent Isle modding has been dark caves and basements. Today I started creating my first outdoor location in a while, and when I went to test it in-game I was just blown away by the sheer prettiness of the Oblivion engine. It’s so bright and…pretty.
To prove the point, here’s the screenshot he took:

He is not wrong...it is pretty.
From the name of the image, it would appear that Thepal is working on Monk Isle now. I’m guessing this is the outdoor meeting place where the monks gather to worship.
Stupid monks. It may be a pretty wall, but it’s nothing compared to the view behind it. Makes me want to spin and sing all Julie Andrews style, something you just don’t get with an isometric view.
It’s bloomtastic!
Loathe the Oblivion engine’s bloom, glad my PC’s graphics card isn’t up to it.
Actually, there is no bloom in that screenshot. I use HDR, not bloom.
Honestly, both look as bad to me.
