Well, a couple years late but wanted to just share something. I am totally blown away with the CF and Was amazed at how you can make an Outer Plot then amazed at how you can design it.

 

Just a couple of pics of my practice course. I really love the way the panoramic mts. came out..

I really may have to get into this ;) Still have a lot to learn but Mike and the folks here are sure a huge help..Thx.

Don't get me wrong, I"m not saying I'm doing amazing work. The CF is amazing.

Thanks bro's. Appreciate the support... :D

It's funny, this was just to practice on so I didn't have a major fail on the course I was going to build. But this may end up being the one I go with and make the other one my practice course. lol

 

Of course, I have to make sure I don't get to arcadish but having fun so far.

 

Peace

Well, what a difference a day makes. I think I am going to go for a little less arcadish and a little more deserty/rugged type course.

Having fun, thought I would share my journey. Everything subject to change. lol

Miles to go.. ;) Don't sweat the textures, they will change..

Lol, Daz. Thanks.. My biggest issue is that I have color blindness so don't be surprised if in the not so very near future, I need advice.

Larry, couple of things:

 

1. I strongly recommend that you correct the Fresnel value on your Fairway fringe. From your screen images it looks like it is set to the old default 0.25, which is way too bright and results in "neon fringes" that stand out from the other meshes. Turn it down to 0 or  .001 to get rid of it.

 

2. Thank you for using my Aroha palm trees. Whether they'll pass muster and make it into the final version remains to be seen, yet their trunks look too bright, if I remember correctly - it seems as if the normal map of the trunk material is missing. If so, find it buried somewhere deep down in the Speedtree folders and set it to "normal map" in the inspector.

 

Best wishes for your current project - you've been sitting on the fence for three years now, nice to see you dipping in a toe - it will take a lot of patience and resolve to finish what you've started. And an even temper, too, so don't throw another tantrum whenever new problems appear. They will, know that, but they can be made to go away. You're on the way now, enjoy the journey - it's a darn good one!

Hey Chris, Thanks for the tip on the fairway fringe, it's that colorblindness kicking in.

I do like the Aroha palms, haven't decided a theme yet. Thanks for the lib.

Is this the one to adjust?

Can't be color blindness, mate, unless that also alters your perception of lightness... It probably is the right lib, yet there seems to be a bit more going on in your case. If memory serves me right, I never use a fairway fringe on my courses anyway, so provided you took over my tropicana project, you might have ended up with a mesh that is not ready to be used.

I'm never adding a fairway fringe for aesthetic reasons of mine, it always look a bit dodgy and the identical 360 degree width also makes it appear a bit automated and too perfect to be credible. 

Also, the Main Color above needs to be same as the rough color, if you want to keep the fringe. No way I would use such a weird grey for that. Also, perhaps locate the semi  rough Texture 1 as well and drag it into Texture 1 field of your fairway fringe.
