Unreal Engine 5 - Viking village of Njordheim (Based on Birka. Sweden) 

I'm completely convinced someone at Epic sold their soul to make UE as powerful as it is with version 5.x. It's just insane what the engine can do. Shoutout to the artists who can leverage this ridiculously impressive tool!

Some people don't realize the beauty of our wild homeland before it was forged in metal chains of futuristic buildings like fallen Atlantis by traitors playing with magic who denied our ancient Gods and our wild nature. Nice prerendering cinematics. 😅

This is how AC Valhalla should have looked like. Excellent work.

elder scrolls 6 in my dreams.

That's how Skyrim looked like in 12 yo me's eyes in 2012.

I thought the Terminator soundtrack was going to kick in any second.

Wow. Just. Wow.

What were your render settings? I'd love to see a breakdown of the scene. And are these assets made by you or did you source them from somewhere else?

No words. 😮

I have looked at a huge amount of 3D animations over the last 3 years, and has never seen anything even close to this quality. In addition to the superb technical skills, you have preserved a modesty regarding the eviroment . It is a lot of UE 5 presentations of vikinghouses and boats etc. that are so far from the real thing. A lot of effets and exaggerations are in play that give people a totaly wrong picture about the viking age. I am myself a member of a viking group in Norway, so I have at least an idea what is genuine and false. Hope you will create more of the same stuff! Regards Tor Bertel.

Astonishing, the atmosphere is great! Good attention to details, transports you right into it.

That makes me extremely excited about the games that are to come in the next years.

Fantastic work, love the realism and authenticity! Good job!

This is so well made one of the rocks looked like CGI on top of a movie shot in reality.

Please post more of these. It just gave me chills watching it.

Incredible work, man! 🤩

This is so gorgeous!! Your talent is unmatched ❤ it's giving the exact same vibes as Kattegat in the Vikings show

Birka is fascinating, it has ferry and private moorings to visit, a small restaurant and good shop with mannequins and 3d models, a decent enough reenactment village, a long steep walk up through the burial grounds and return past the Christian Era stone cross through light forest. I spent a wonderful day there last summer. Accessed only by boat it is on an island West of Stockholm called Björkö.

Absolutely wonderful!!! A beautiful journey through time to a reality full of coldness and severity. Amazing!!!

You really nailed the roughness levels ! Great work
