Skyrim Whiterun is basically the capital city of Whiterun Hold where Nords live in the ‘traditional’ manner. It has various fortifications including wooden / stone palisade walls and a defensive advantage solely because of its position on a large bluff that raises the city above the surrounding tundra.
Freelance 3D artist Leo Torres wanted to show the true scale of the city, so what better way than by remaking Whiterun in Unreal Engine 5? That’s exactly what he did, and this version of Whiterun has around 7,000 – 9,000 people. Just for the record, everything you see here was rendered on an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GPU in real time.

I was originally placing it at around 20,000 – 30,000, but I do think that Skyrim’s climate, with bitter winters and permafrost in the ground, would make agriculture difficult, and so a smaller overall population would seem to make more sense. But again, this is pure conjecture,” said Torres.
