Lack of vertical height in vvardenfel =/= Red mountain isn't tall. The entire thing is a gradual slope up. Still have doubts? The grazelands are largely flat until you hit red mountain. Go to the unnamed foyoda to the west of the Zainab camp and look to west. While it may not be as steep as you might like, I at least find the change in altitude impressive. Also notice how high you are already, and keep in mind that what you are seeing isn't the peak, but one of the lower sections of the ghostfence. Impressive vertical height can be achieved without going past the limits of red mountain, and while red mountain may not be as steep as people might like, things like meshes made for cliffs, not present in the vanilla game, make it possible to make impressive mountains without gratuitous height.

To summarize, you'd be surprised how tall red mountain actually is if you've only ever approached it via foyoda mamea and/or the path near buckmoth. Anyway, unless you actively try for incredibly huge mountains, I think you'll find that your impressive mountains will still be shorter than red mountain. (and this is a good thing!)

I wouldn't really say it was a limitation to be honest, and I never ruled out having to tweak the landmass after creating it using height maps. Its always going to need fine tuning by hand. But you try creating Tamriel by hand in the CS, see how long it takes you

Why? What do you plan to do with it?

Monkey's going to release it when it's finished, so just wait til then (he's making them for other projects, not himself).
He's spent a lot of time on these maps, so I'm sure it'll look good.

Btw, I'm not sure about Lestat, but I'm mapping Qarl's sharper textures onto the castle ruin interiors for now.
If any skilled texturer can make pretty decent remakes of the Oblivion textures, that'd be great. Or get qarl's permission for use of his textures.
I'm not an amazing texturer myself unfortunately, I can create textures using source pictures, but making copies of other textures is beyond me.

They use several different textures unfortunately. I think one of them might be the exterior wall texture though.
I'll just map them to qarl's textures for now (it's the textures I'm using in my Oblivion installation), and we'll sort it out later I guess. =)

Btw, would TR like to use some of the resources from the other provinces?
We'll send you copies when they're finished, if you want to add a dungeon or a small settlement or something on the border areas later on.

@Guitarjoe: Animated grass is un-necessary and easily achieved with Valities grass so I don't see why we would. People can add in whatever graphical assets they want on their own so I think it best not to bloat the project with our own graphical improvements (other than good textures/meshes). Not that it's my decision or anything.

Is it possible to get a file of the land you're working on?
