Here's Kinloch GC that I've been working on. Figured I'd throw up a few screenshots so hopefully it keeps me motivated to keep going. I have all 18 holes laid out and playable. I'm just now going back through adding the 3-D grass and planting plus some objects. I have the front nine almost completed. So it will still be a while until I have it finished.

 

 

First hole from the Rough

First hole greenside

Second hole championship T

Second hole from the start of the fairway

Third holes from the Rough 

Fourth hole championship T drivable par 4 with a tail wind

Fifth hole championship T par 3 194 yards

Sixth championship T

Sixth approach shot

Seventh championship T par 3 237 yards

Nice work!

Justin, I always look forward to your courses.  Looks spectacular!

[DPRoberts]

Can't wait! Love that air circulator!

 

Side note - Do you have anti-aliasing turned off? Bunkers, water and cart paths in the distance are jittered like something from the 90s.

[Joe Habiger]

Very nice, look forward to playing it.

the Course

look Great love the wide fairway

[jurgie]

I have always thought that when screenshots of designed courses look like actual photographs of real scenery, is work that has to be applauded. Very very nice work on this project.

Quad meshing around the bunkers is awesome. Keep that grass planting set, it's a winner.

Yep, I like to have anti-aliasing off while working in Unity, and often forget to turn it back

on before building.

About time you got round to finishing it 

Looking good mate

[Justin9926]

Thanks guys

Well I did check in unity and it is on but only 2x multi sampling. But however when I checked the settings in PG I had anti-aliasing disabled for some reason. I do know I turn off the Vignetting & Bloom. So I may have accidentally unchecked the anti-aliasing by mistake. It's back on now.

 

By the way DP what setting do you use in unity 2x,4x or 8x when building the course.

 

Another question I always turn cast shadows to 2 cascade when working in unity to keep from getting that half-moon shadow. Should that be also switch back to 4 cascade when building a course?

 

 

Thanks, Justin

Yes the quad meshing does help the look of the grass around the bunkers. Especially if they are a irregular shape.

 

 

As far as the grass setting that's real simple. Just watch DP's tutorial of Orchard Valley. It's the same settings for the three textured grass. So thanks, DP also for the tutorial on using the quadmesher.

I was speaking of the grass planting, looks good.

Are you talking about turning off AA on your video card when designing or actually using a component inside Unity? If so you just confused me. Maybe many more people use more components that I though. I think Mike has many of them in his unitytutorial plot that people use but I think I delete them all because I have no clue why they are there. Maybe that is why some or all of the stock paid courses like Devils Island is so damn crisp when looking around.

[Justin9926]

He's talking about inside of unity

[slammin]

I agree with Neal. Fantastic job of planting around the course. It all blends together in a nice seamless manner which renders a very realistic look. Beautiful work Justin. Will look forward to playing the final version.

[SJude]

Looking Great Justin !!!!!!!!!!!

FYI,  AA build settings have no impact on the game which uses a separate set of quality settings for all courses. Very nice work!

Thanks for the info Mike. Not to derail the thread or take away from Justin's beautiful golf design, but I'm curious to know what other Unity settings are superseded by game settings. One particular interest are SpeedTree objects and their LOD's.

Hi Brian, the individual speedtree LOD settings in the editor stand as the base from the which the global LOD quality setting works. The global settings can be adjustable with the tree detail slider inside the game.

I don't think it matters which global quality setting LOD you build with as it will be superceded by the game settings but you can easily test this if you want by ramping the editor LOD quality settings to perhaps 5 before building the course and see whether your FPS hits the dirt in game!
