Hey pingzing, enough with the teases.  I want to play this gem right now!

Must be close to finishing as those latest pics are hole 17

[pingzing]

Cheers for replies, so many things left to do

Fix textures- theres about a week there, add all pins, test/rinse/repeat-hours and hours just with pins and adjusting greens slopes

Splash screen- have to re learn graphics software, scout holes for excessive slopes/terrain

Add some more waterfalls, replant trees etc, change some hole routings and designs

want to add another particle system- lava-volcano like Dogz- old smokie-so will take another week trying to figure  that out if i can 

Goes on and on, so much work in creating a course, a real rcr basically  you leave the terrain/heightmap as is

but non rcr have to sculpt manually ever y part of course

 

anyway small steps  otherwise when you look at what you still have to do it can be overhwelming

 

Cheers

If it was easy, anyone could do it.

Looks to be really nice and challenging. Take your time and fix those things spoken of. I know I have over 100 courses to play and will enjoy this one immensly when it comes out. Looks beautiful.

This looks so much better than boring to play real courses.  Bravo!

[Sinewiz]

Beautiful workmanship!

[Crow357]

Yeah, this one looks great!  Love the name.  Like there should be tiki torches, natives and poison blow darts!  LOL 

[worrybirdie]

Makes me want to give up on my little course (that I've spent many months on). Looks great though!

Black Smoke- Cant get  colour to show black

so wip with this black smoke .

PZ, I watched the following video and made a Unity package for download - it contains the Particle prefab, the smoke texture and the smoke material. I would suggest watching the video so you can tweak to your desired effect. The beginning is German Photoshop so I made the texture for you. (instead of waiting for you to learn Photoshop and German) I essentially copied what occurs in the video.

If you prefer to setup your own materials and Particle effects, here is the texture I made for the Black smoke (the trick is using the Particle>Multiply (double) shader)

 

Smoke texture - .tif with Alpha channel

[DPRoberts]

If you want to just modify what you currently have running in your build, change the material shader by clicking on the smoke material and use the dropdown in the Inspector to change the Shader to Particles>Multiply (Double)

Works like a new one off the shelf - youtube is where i usually go first and have a crack-but got stuck 

 

I actually found that youtube video and downloaded it as it had the PS tutorial as well

 

It looked over my head at this point in time and i searched for a simpler tutorial .I will watch it again and slow the play down, good tutorial that one.

 

The key is the material Shader and the properties you mentioned- I  just learnt  now you can drag the material onto your particle system, so i did that with yours and will play around with the settings.

 

Friggin black smoke, i watched vids and tried every dam setting, and still didnt work

 

Man you work fast-lots experience shines through with you, your very confident, with me i know what i want but lack skills, have to put the time in down the track, gets frustrating when i dont know how to create what i want.

 

Good to have your support here Matt, makes me smile what you can do and how you help out.

 

Vielen Dank Matt eine Legende

[DPRoberts]

No problem. Less you have to worry about little stuff, more time to work on the big picture of finishing the course.

[pingzing]

Slowly, slowly progressing towards the end

Tee boxes

Got 3 coloured tee boxes  originally from K11-tropicana package -love them so much- thank you k11 for design

Asked Dp to kindly  modify them/add some more colours  and add his creative flair to see what he could come up with.

 

Thank you k11 and Dp

 

 

Dp`s modifications

 

[vainte]

Looks great, and kind of frightening when the wind Is blowing in off the sea.

 

Nice work on the tee markers, they are really going to stand out. In a good way!

Hold everything Stephen. Did you just say that? You know I won't let you get away with "good enough".

[Jimbo63]

Wow if this is only just 'good enough' I am glad I stopped trying to design a course.

Well I'm not!! You need to get off your butt and get back into it Jim.

 

@pingzing.  Patiently waiting for beta so I can steal some of your ideas buddy. GiddyUp!!
