Huge Dragon Statues Appearing on PS4-NA

I don’t know how, but people are installing colossal dragon statues in their homes made of various materials. I was just invited to 1 particular home by a buddy, and saw for myself giant dragons made of crystal and some other structure. While this is the first time I’ve ever seen dragons of this particular design, I have in the past been invited to people’s homes (post-Dragonbones) to check out their dragons that they had added. Each time appearing more grand and spectacular. Before looking at these dragons, I was invited to another buddy’s house where they had a giant tiger-like dragon illuminated by soul gems.
Below are some pictures of the 2 most recent structures I encountered. And even then, these pictures don’t do them justice. The scale and dimensions are flawless, and need to be seen in-person for yourself. The detailing of where the fires are positioned, and overall lighting is insane.

As a side note, I don’t know who is creating these extravagant figures in people’s homes. But, your work is incredible. And I’d be willing to hire you for your services.

@NewBlacksmurf That’s what I’m saying. I don’t know who is going around building these structures for people, but their craftsmanship is beyond superb. I mean some of the statues I’ve seen could easily be used as a template for ZOS to go about making NPC’s off of.
But what really amazes me is how little resources it takes up of the property. Notable houses have a 700 limit, and yet these titanic structures can be placed with plenty of room to spare. It’s truly remarkable.
I’m salty af that I didn’t think to save a few pictures of the tiger-dragon thingy I saw the other day. It was ridiculous, bro. The scales were made of soul gems and or some illuminated crystals. It was so beautiful.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Actually... I’m curious now. Where does 1 even go to acquire the emeralds, and or green crystals? Same with the pointed black materials. Where are they acquired from? I had never seen them prior to being introduced to these statues which keep popping up in people’s houses.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭So nobody knows where to get those black spiky things, and or emerald-like crystals? I’m starting to feel like Knuckles from Sonic. Lol. Gotta track down those gems.0 -

Green crystals from Vvardenfell achievement vendor, if I remember correctly, they cost about 25k each -plus achieve needed
The black ones seems like the Coldharbour rocks, way cheaper -5k each for the big ones i think, no achievement required.
Not only it looks amazing, but that last crystal dragon must have cost at least half million gold!2 -

If they are that expensive, then yes. At least half a million is correct. I wish you guys could’ve seen these 2 statues for yourself, as they are so remarkably accurate (in regards to dimensions and proportions). Not to mention the symmetry that is involved. You can kinda see this somewhat on the back of the crystal dragon, but again. It is something that must be seen for yourself.0 -

Green crystals are the bottom of the Glass Crystals, Bed. The other greenish one is the combination of different types of Glass Crystals. These crystals could be acquired from an achievement vendor after finishing quest in the south-east of Vvardenfell (Piligrim's problem quest or smth like this). The dark black material - probably some rock from oblivion or ebonite crystal, not sure reallyEdited by NoTimeToWait on March 15, 2018 9:59AM1 -
NoTimeToWait✭✭✭✭✭I have a general idea how these dragons were built. Some program similar to https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/399052/immaculate-constructions-here-build-arcs-bridges-spirals-circles-spheres-domes-walls-floors-stairs#latest with preprogrammed coordinates and quaternions for furnishings. The program probably leverages an API designated for this working as a client instead of being addon. But that's only my speculationEdited by NoTimeToWait on March 15, 2018 10:06AM1

@NoTimeToWait Here’s the thing, however. These structures are ALL built on console. No ads-ons or anything like that. So whoever is the architect is behind these things, is a truly brilliant mind.Edited by Ch4mpTW on March 15, 2018 11:01AM4 -

That's why I said that the developer leverages API not via addon, but from some client application, which is running on a desktop. You can still make calls to a server from your computer, it doesn't matter whether it is PS4, XBOX or PC version of the game. But you need to know protos (protocols and encryption) used in such calls and this could be an issue1 -

✭✭✭These are very creative and awesome.
I have a buddy create some elaborate things in his houses. Crazy puzzle mazes in the sky etc.
The only draw back is the number of furnishing slots. The inside of the houses were empty.
Of course I like steak. I'm a Nord, aren't I?

I've been to that house in game and was awe struck as well. There's someone else I know of on PS4 who has built some amazing things with the thrones.1 -

@Nocturnal_Annoyance Ah, so you know what I’m talking about. Those pictures really don’t do them justice. Those structures are something you have to actually walk around and examine for yourself. They’re magnificent.0 -

I was expecting something not this impressive. Whoever did the the first one...that's the best use of Colharbour rock I've ever seen. Kudos!1 -
