 Hello
TES fans and friends alike, and warm greetings! My name
is Noah Berry and I am entirely pleased to be an environmental
artist for Bethesda Softwork's latest and greatest massive
CRPG, TES III: Morrowind. I am a graduate of James Madison
University with a B.A. in Fine Art and have been a dedicated
lover of all things computer gaming since I received my
first 386sx16 back in the eighth grade.
Since then, I have been playing whatever I could get a
hold of, and soaking in and relishing all of the incredible
titles that gamers and developers alike have released
over the years. I fondly recall one crisp autumn day in
1996 when I was introduced to what is now the nostalgic
greatness that is Daggerfall. Upon playing, I was immediately
impressed by the sheer scope of the game, the freedom,
and the wonderful sense of atmosphere, mood and immersion.
I eagerly seek these elements wherever they may reside
in computer gaming and to be sure, Daggerfall has them
in spades.
One of my favorite features of the game was the ever changing,
and beautifully rendered Tamriel sky. (In all it's 320x200x256
glory!) There was no parallel for the experience of stepping
out from the dark confines of Privateer's Hold into the
winter night air as snowflakes drifted softly to the ground,
then watching the sun lazily work it's way up into the
gently brightening sky, awash in hues of red and gold.
I simply hadn't seen it done before in gaming and I was
floored. I still am.
In fact, I have been constantly searching the skies (so
to speak) in gaming since but have yet to be fully satisfied
and sated. It became my goal quite readily after beginning
work on Morrowind to try and help create the most beautiful
and atmospheric skies ever seen in a computer game. I
vividly remember the first time Todd Howard demonstrated
the sky system for me when showing Morrowind and how awesome
I thought it was. There was a stronger sense of clarity,
movement and depth than I had seen ever before in a title
and I beseeched him to allow me to be a part of that.
