Great news for Skyrim Creators

This afternoon I think I will be streaming my adventures in Houdini to make the tree ruins fort. It was too problematic to create in 3ds and Blender corrupts the z scaling when imported to 3ds then SFCK. #GameDev #Starfield

Around noon mountain I’ll be streaming more work the ancient forest in Adv Inc on Twitch and YouTube. Feel free to join me then. I’ll post links once the stream is up. #Starfield #Creations
