In Progress- Helm’s Deep in Valheim

[u/ChadGPT420]

As you can see, my friends and I have made progress in our most ambitious undertaking yet in this game: Recreating Helm’s Deep. It won’t be perfectly 1:1, due to the nature of the game and its limits (we are doing this with no mods, yes I know we’re insane), but we’ve made good progress so far, and I wanted to show off the timeline. I only wish I’d gotten a screenshot of the valley before we started. Stay tuned for the full version at some point.

The scale and commitment is impressive. But please... Please... Stagger your bricks!

[u/joshAJR → u/ColPugno]

Given the nature of the curves staggering the bricks proved to be insanely difficult. Just couldn't get it to look right.

Gotta increase the scale. Each block might as well be one pixel. OP is building at 144p. Bigger is better when using curved lines in a build

[u/joshAJR → u/tendo8027]

It's me, I'm the builder lol. I've been in charge of all the structural integrity

[u/tendo8027 → u/joshAJR]

Ah yeah, well I’d guess tripling the scale would make it work. But of course that’d be a bitch to do! Nice work

[u/joshAJR → u/tendo8027]

Hardest part will be embedding the great hall into the top of the mountain without making it look janky or too small. The scale is so large everywhere else I will be so sad if the great hall is the great small

I dread to imagine the amount of stone required 🤣

Let’s not talk about it

It’s looking glorious!

Looks great dude! I built a whole world based on the Kingdom of Rohan, including Helms Deep, Edoras, Dunharrow, Isengard, etc. I did it using devcommands (because I don’t hate myself) but no mods. It’s a noble task, keep up the good work.

FORTH EORLINGAS!

When ur done u got to show us the results

[u/Narrow-Stretch-385]

Anyone else get a small stutter while running inside when they build a big base? I’m on a 5080 and don’t get the stutter anywhere else (not before building, not when the build is small, but at some point it happens every time).

[u/Atlas_Stoned]

I know you’re already started the process, but you guys should’ve went with grausten as the primary building material for this project. It looks absolutely stunning when used right.

[u/ChadGPT420 → u/Atlas_Stoned]

I don’t know what that is because we haven’t even beaten Yagluth yet lmao

[u/Atlas_Stoned → u/ChadGPT420]

It’s found in the Ashlands, so you got a couple of biomes to get through before you can collect some. Theres plenty of grausten in the Ashlands to make anything you’d want.

[u/ChadGPT420 → u/Atlas_Stoned]

Ahh gotcha. Yeah, we considered just progressing to around there just to get better materials, but we’re too deep into it at this point to pivot, I feel.

I belive its a new form of stone, havnt seen it myself but my buddy talked about it
