Links Legend (duncan) created a custom library, but most of the textures are Coos Bay.

really good stuff David, your work always looks so well planned and organized. needed to go back to the overhead in frame 7 of your original course pics, its hard to tell one from the other .... the right grasses are going to be so important here, can't wait to see you nail 'em!

David,

Looking good mate. One thing I would say on the two-tone fairway is to make the interior half light and exterior shape the darker fairway texture so that the blend to rough is less pronounced... Hope that makes sense, and just a thought.

Original texture test:

Seem to have stalled on this since back to work.
Only 1 more hole completed since New Year.
If only they would let me do it at my desk in work, have it finished in no time!

You can do it David - and I know there's a lot of people excited about playing it. It's such a spectacular golf course, and lucky that it's being brought to life by your talented hands.

Get your self a nice glass of red tonight as the snow keeps coming and tuck yourself in to it :)
