HI there, here's a rehash of the article I wrote for Autodesk Forums. I gave a brief overview of how I made the Viking Settlement. Originally written in Spanish and translated into 10 languages, I'm publishing the English version because most of my audicence speak in English. I hope you find this useful, and thanks for checking it out.
