Projects to add Shivering Isles & Oblivion Deadlands?

Vality somehow got Shivering Isles into TESIII.

Now he merged it into the game engine, I'm assuming, which is fine for his own personal use but that type of thing won't be uploaded officially. I was wondering if any person or persons were going to recreate the Shivering Isles from scratch as a mod project, much like http://s1.zetaboards.com/Province_Cyrodiil/topic/3972538/1/ and http://www.skyrim.co.uk/ and http://tamriel-rebuilt.org/.

I remember seeing a forum discussion about someone attmepting to recreate the Oblivion realm from scratch. Is that still being worked on?
I'd love to be able to go to the Shivering Isles or the Deadlands in TESIII.

I agree!

This is something I would -love- to see done... although I think most mods which even approached the idea of entering into Oblivion -mostly- died off pretty early. There are a few nice exceptions... but overall, nothing quite like recreating the Shivering Isles, I don't think, has even come close to seeing the light of day.

Then again, perhaps I'm wrong, and some kind young soul will provide a link!

There are tons of reasons why this would be a tough project to implement.

1. Tons of models to recreate from scratch so they are legal.
2. No new worldspaces in MW so you have to do a huge int as ext (probably impossible) or place the Isle in the real world which messes with lore and may conflict with other mods...neither option is the greatest
3. It's a large place you need a large team...I can tell you from experience these are neither easy to get nor keep focused.

I'm all for this project but I see lots of really big mountains to climb to get it rolling and then actually produce.\

Also you are linking to our old P:C site Tes96. You should check the new on through the link in my sig and sign up to join the forums! :)

Yeah, I fear that you are right. Recreating Shivering Isles from scratch would be about 1/4 the size of Vvardenfell, or maybe 1/3 the size. I haven't played TESIV that much so I don't know its size in comparison. Well, perhaps someday in the future a team will come along.
I'm registered on P:C but I haven't done anything on it yet. Lemme go see what you guys are up to over there. :) Thanks for inviting me, by the way. I'll need to compile a showcase portfolio first.

Well, if such a project existed I would love to make some meshes for it.

I know you were registered on our old site Tes96, but since we moved you don't appear to be registered. Feel free to drop by and re-up though we will be glad to see a showcase from you :)

Its not really a "true" conversion, he imported SI height map, imported and exported for MW couple of models witch a bunch of textures and placed them manualy recreating small part of the isle
