Skyblivion is a volunteer-based project by the TESRenewal modding group. We aim to bring the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion to a new generation of gamers and re-introduce it to long time fans of the series. I joined the Skyblivion development team in 2014 and my part of the project is the creation of flora assets and biomes.
I recreated all trees from of the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and it's extensions with only a few exceptions. Counting 134 foliage assets and houndred of textures which have all been built from scratch enterly. All trees are designed to resample there Elder Scrolls IV counterpart as close as possible while adding more details. Because the creation engine handles LODs insufficiently, trees are keept within a 3k - 4k range.
During the asset creation it was important to find a good balance between design and performance. For the creation of textures however, I had a little more liberty. Therefore all textures have been created in 2K or 4K resulution based on high quality source material and photography. For the initial release those are resized to 1K or smaller, but players will always be able to download and install the optional HD pack.
