Very very early days with only 7 holes laid out, plenty of sculpting to go, and eventually need to look more into "that that cant be named" in terms of colouring,  but the elements are finally starting to come together

Looking great John, you're gonna be a natural with CF.

You must be speaking about something that I'd like to talk about...namely changing the texture/color of the default meshes. Let's just not mention the thing that should not be touched yet.   Looks good can't wait to play it, eventually.

shhhh..............

[johnmeyer]

Well its "finished" and ready for your constructive feedback.. please be kind

 

No flybys as of yet, Indexes are incorrect, single set of tees only at sim length of 6100 ish yards (yellow in real life) and lots of things will no doubt be changed, such as the water planes, grasses and trees as they all come from my pre CF unity build only days, but its plays pretty much like the real thing which was the primary aim for this.

 

I suspect may be performance issues due to the trees, but see what you think. As an exercise in what a beginner can achieve Im pretty happy with how its gone so far.

A great job and you are a beginner!  Just a couple of comments.  On hole 5 there is a fairway patch on the left and the edges are not "smoothed".  I use the Follow camera and on hole 15 it looks weird because it looks like the world ends on the left.  Other than that very impressed with the buildings, and the copse of trees  reminds me of what I see here on the prairies where multiple trees are planted as protection from the wind.  I assume that the real course being so open must have windy conditions most of the time.

[johnmeyer]

Thanks, 

 

Yeah its always windy there, and your completely correct regarding those copses. The outer terrain beyond the pin as you play down hole 3 is a small 9 hole sister course, and that bank you can see in the distance is the sea defences.

 

The "worlds end" at 15 is an oversight on my part, as it is indeed the edge of the terrain. Will need to think of a way to solve that, ill think of something Im sure.

 

Course was manly just so I can have a way to play replication of my regular local course using my sim, so was always goning to be a but "slap dash" in places. Will refine it over time as my CF skills grow though.

[Crow357]

You can solve "world's end" problems by creating a 2nd terrain, larger than the first.  You lower it below the 1st terrain and use the sculpting tools to bring up the sides.  Try it on a test project first as you always want to make sure, you've highlighted the correct terrain before sculpting or planting or (shudder) deleting.

Version A3

 

https://mega.nz/#!zp...yfV5Cls-7GOKjiU

 

Improvements to water colouring, added flags, fixed area on side fairway of 5, adjusted lips on cart path edges, adjusted tree clusters, and adjusted various LOD and plantings to improve FPS.

 

Known Issues outstanding:

 

End of World left of Hole 15 

Further tee planting

Stroke Indexes

Flybys

Lots of changes since the early build. Huge learning curve once you venture into the depths of unity and speedtree, and the temptation to constantly tweak is vast. Other than being able to get a reasonably accurate rendition of a course I play weekly in the summer, its given me and even greater appreciation of what the most talented designers here achieve with just the same tools I've bungled my way through using.

 

Its up on BETA on OGT, but for those that dont frequent, link is below. Hopefully this will be good enough as a final version, and can learn from the mistakes learned along the way into the next project,

Latest version looking good John, enjoyed my round...thanks m8! 

[johnmeyer]

Cheers Dogz,

 

Final version is available for download at OGT now if anyone else wishes to give it a shot. I do know a few areas Id like to improve and will update eventually once there are any new features or enough changed to warrant a new build.

 

Thanks
