An ex-Rockstar Games environment artist who worked on #RDR2 and #GTAV has been exploring our vision of Middle-earth 🧙♂️
These are fantastic videos that really capture the fact that we're trying to do environmental art just like the pros!

I can’t even avoid idiot AI bros when I go to Oxford. My brother in Earendil ChatGPT is not the same thing as the steam engine.
