Nice, by chance do you have an overview of how you have your course laid out?

I'm kinda making it up as i go along, so the 6 i have completed are all there is, i'll post a pic of it no problem...normally i would layout the 18 before working on elevations etc but this is my first course attempt, so playing it by ear so to speak, just hope i can get 9 and 18 back to the imaginary clubhouse, but no big deal if not.

just worked out where i'm gonna go with this...plenty more terrain to dig out, but you can see the 6 completed so far.

[aftrshok99]

Looks like you did make it workout where you will end up back at the clubhouse.

Be sure not to go too close to the terrain's edge or you might get some odd views on follow can and flythrough cams.

So, were you given a created plot and then routing the holes on top of it? That's actually more like real course design, and to me a bit more fun and challenging. The best courses for me are always the ones that take advantage of the land when they can.

 

I think the thing I look forward to the most is using the terrain importer not just for real courses, but to put fictional ones in real locations. I'm one of those guys when traveling around in a car who looks at the side of the road and says "that'd be a good par 3 right there".

I do that too, always wondered how many other people do that.

I'm on of those guys, too. I see golf holes everywhere! There must be a complicated, greek-latin medical term for this condition. I have a collection of around 20 bing maps location bookmarks of places I would very much like to transport into CF and work on. One of them is the crater and slope sof Mount St. Helens...

DoGgz used a prefabricated plot, a starter pack with everything in it already. Yet everything in it is still changeable and exchangeable: every color, every shape, every elevation, every model, every texture, every height map. CF will ship with such a starter pack (or several of them). It's recommended that designers should first work with them in order to learn the ropes, then advance into more ambitious projects. They are a little like the training wheels on a bike.

As a great mind of computer golf course design recently put it: "You need to walk before you can run".

DoGgz certainly is making great strides and walking very briskly.

I used to play a lot of cricket in my youth. One of my favourite grounds to play on was a club in the grounds of the Goodwood House, the famous Sussex mansion. As we entered the estate my brothers and I always used to comment that that particular piece of ground would make an excellent golf course. Lo and behold, when I visited the Goodwood Festival of Speed a few years ago that very piece of land had indeed been made into a fantastic course.

I remember lying on the beach while the children were busy building sand castles. It was never long before I would be on hands and knees in the sand  sculpting and shaping green complexes with humps, hollows, bunkers, etc.  I would love to have a 3d scanner to take an image model of that and pull it into Unity

[DoGgs]

Found a better way of creating my greenside bunkers...postage stamp style!

[RobC]

yeah i seen that but there is no option to browse to pic, just brings up a box with various cf textures.

You first have to import the cameo (360 x 360) and splash (1920 x 1080) screens into your assets. Then just drag and drop them into their proper fields.

 

At building both images will be saved into your Course Folder and then be available to the game.
