Everything is Easy for RobC, You should see his version of sawgrass, took him about 5 months with TW but its art on a computer.
CF is much more User friendly.
I used to have nightmares with the Cartpath in TW, sure creating one around a hole was a piece of cake, creating it say from medium Rough around a tight curve from one texture to another say from the rough around and up through aTee texture and back out again was no fun.
Not having a go at you Larry, grabbed a piece of terrain from that link you gave me, I figuire if I canot get good imagery from Australia through the USGS, used to be able to get world topography from that site once with the right Co-ordinates I think, anyway I will just play with what I have and if I make anythig out of it, keep it to myself, all good experience.
Going to use the Australian Golf Club as a Layoutand see what I get.
RobC was one of the finest designers ever during the TW series of games. Every course he ever made was spectacular.
Downloaded your first ever course Larry, Can I do the height map you talked about someone did, using the Unity Programme.
