I took a lesson from K11 to create my own fw and green textures, totally revamped the course...got rid of the horrible firs.  Two holes out of the 9 are virtually complete ( 1 & 8 ) will buff up the other 7 before starting work on back 9 design.

Any dark areas you see are not yet treated, along with outer terrain.

Started to put grandstands and tv towers in, but not 100% happy with them..what do you think?

Really like the unique colors and textures of the fairways and greens. Doesn't look as monotonous as some of the other courses.

 

Sand seems a bit pink; but, I guess that would make sense considering the name of the course is, "Clay Hills."

 

Grandstands look more like Tennis grandstands, than Golf. But, I'm not sure whether there really is a *Standard Golf Grandstand* amongst real golf courses, anyway.

 

I'm sure that grandstands would look more identifiable, if and when there were a crowd of people in it.

 

Perhaps spectators would cause the course to use up too much memory. But, hopefully that will not be a problem, just as soon as the 64-bit exe is released.

 

I'd like to see the blimp stay, as well... if it works on the 64-bit exe. -But, not if it causes stuttering.

 

Also, very nice architecture on that house behind 9 green.

yeah grandstands are gone, without a gallery it is a bit pointless, and yes bunkers have a hint of clay in the sand, nice link   although i am gonna tone them down a little bit.

 Will the blimp be animated? Looks off just hanging there.

 

Edit: after watching you set up your 2nd shot on hole 7. That blimp with the way the sun is shining and being off in the distance reminds me of the movie Independence Day where the aliens come shooting out of the mother ship and start attacking.

 

BTW: Hole 5 really seems like a treat to play with the bunkers coming off the tee. Keep up the good work.

Very nice update DoGgs. I particularly like the more richer colors on the course and bunkers. I'm really looking forward to seeing the back nine. Thanks for sharing with us.

Course looks great.  Just a personal opinion but I think the sand in the bunkers looks like the colour of clay and dominate the other colours you have on the course.  Thanks.

I guess the bunkers may be that way as after all, the course is called Clay Hill Estates.

Dogz has already posted earlier in this thread that he will be tweaking the tone of the sand in the bunkers.

Just finished the 14th at Clay hill, liking how this track looks and plays...I'm sticking with the minor elevation/parkland vibe throughout, but it's really tempting to stick a few tees up high lol... i shall resist.  Should be a decent little track for tournament play once finished.  Was hoping for release next weekend, but i have such a busy week ahead, thats just not gonna happen...soon though!

Second last pic there Dogz, shows a field on the right bordered by fences

Mate is that a field texture you painted on there or did you create that by hand

 

Looks really good 

 

Well done
