Looks great!!!

These courses look brilliant. I played a course in Arizona this year called Verrado (Victory Course) which was built through an old quarry. It was completely different to anything I’ve ever played but these courses remind me of it.

Looks excellent. Did you use a noise brush or anything like Gauia.

[Drrobmiller]

no   just whats in unity

 

had crash and lost my course forge and terrain seems corrupted,..did back up but hopefully I can get back up and running

 

not happy

Hello D.Rob, good to see you are dabbling in course design again! This course reminds me of a links03 course called Brydestone Golf Club

Could that have been an inspiration to your design? 

What spec gpu & cpu are you using these days by the way...

Thanks again, (Just played Beth Page Black HD the other day great time still haven't broken par however. Lol!

Great looking terrains.

 

Question about ball physics.  Since day one with PG in 2014 I have wondered why ball impacts on rocks and stones are more like they landed on moss or leaves. No major bounces off stones. Do you happen to know why it works this way?

 

Balls that land on concrete cart paths bounce/ricochet - realistically.

 

I do not create courses. Since you do, I was wondering if you could explain this phenomenon.

Rocks in the periphery (not a CF mesh), as in Dr. Rob's pic, are hand painted in Unity. All parts of the terrain such as these that are not a mesh are assigned "rough" physics.

If he places a rock object (a rock mesh), he can assign a physics property such as concrete to it. Most bulkheads or other walls people place in courses typically act this way.

There has been mention of trying to rectify this in the future in some way. Obviously, not changing for PG1.

He is using a secondary terrain which he could assign the property of "concrete" to but, for some reason, I believe it'll still act like "rough".

Much appreciated.  That's a very comprehensive explanation.

Thanks

 

back up and running

 

just restarted as I only did one hole with no plants

 

Brydestone,..great links 2003 course

 

anyway, looks like Im commited again, couldnt stop.

Also what inspired me was Bortmus’ course. My links2003 course were very texture driven, so it brings me back when I saw that.

The Glen was a learning curve,..to see how unity works, how the planting and bunkering can be maximized, and to play around with all the addons/ assets etc.

This course I will focus on textures. I was going to do a real life course with the Overlay technique that everyone’s been talking about. I stumbled upon some decent textures and enjoy using the terrain painter, I was fumbling about and then when I saw it…..hmm, not bad.

I’m also using a smaller plot so there is less distance between vertex points. That way when sculpting rock I get better detail and shadow effect. By doing it this way, I have to add extra terrain’s in the periphery to increased the plot.

Bunkers will have new textures. Much less bunkers than the Glen. Wider Fairway’s and shorter course to make this fun for the simulators.

I found a cool structure for the clubhouse. So, now that it’s winter, looks like designing his back. But of course depending on real life and traveling, this may take a while.

Looking great Doc- just love "natural" looking courses like these ones
