wanted to add 3d grass to quail hollow.but lost the previous version in a hard drive failure.thanks to larry kuh,new Lidar was available,with all the recent changes.so i have rebuilt the course from scratch,with overlay method and 3dg.should have this one done in the next few weeks.

the greens are much more accurate,and the course plays much harder than the previous version.

Wow Quade, this looks like a typical case of bad luck turned into a great opportunity. Can't wait to tee it up. Great effort!

Man! This is one motha of a course from the C-tees! The first hole is a monster!!   I rate this course as tough as Augusta. Especially with faster greens this course will be a serious 'bruiser'! You really have to know were to hit your shots here and -again- especially on the greens, otherwise your dead in the water. And now, with 3DG fully implemented the course looks absolutely stellar. What a great effort Quade. One of your best. Your Augusta was already 5-star and this one is sharing in the glory. Both are some of the tougest courses out there. Majestic!!

Does anyone get pop-up textures on the ground (as seen in the below picture) that go away the closer to the camera they get?  I've seen this on the majority of Skunky's overlay courses and wasn't sure if it was just on my end or not.  I don't notice this on some other courses using the overlay method (like the recent Royal Melbourne beta).

 

 

Also, I've noticed the 3DG on Skunky's courses can't be seen from much further than 40-50 feet in front of your player.  The 3DG gets rather sparse the farther away you are from the player until it's gone completely.  It also doesn't seem as full as other courses with 3DG.  I'm not sure if the 3DG settings were lowered by Skunky to keep the fps down, but it is a noticeable difference (comparing it to Scioto below).  You can easily see the grass texture below the 3DG on Quail close to the camera but hardly at all on Scioto

 

 

Just a couple things to look into Skunky if you happen to make any other changes to your courses in the future.  They look/play absolutely amazing otherwise!
