new course

[cbagnall]

hi all
i have started to use the architect and just would like to know if i should keep going and get everybodys thoughts

[Indy Anna Jones]

Just started using the architect???? That's darn good looking work, especially the traps/green complex is very professional looking.

Assuming you're just starting, the only suggestions I could make right now is to find a texture complex with more color or something that'll make the deep rough/off course area stand out from your fairway/rough. Second, be very careful about running your course too close to the edges; right now it looks fine but those can be hard to disguise when they're right next to where you're playing. Third, some variation in your planting. But right now it's looking really really good.

thanks for that i have been playing around with it for a couple of weeks and got some tips off ....... Jörgen Ekroth tutorial
i think it will take a long time to finish

cbagnall. Thats a good start. Besides what Judy already said you may want to raise the elevation behind and around the right of the green to help hide the black edge strip in front of your pano. Also having a dense woods around the outside edge helps hide it along with the raising of the elevation.

[Indy Anna Jones]

Never get in a rush, and please don't hesitate to ask ANY questions or describe any problems you might run into.

Steve is right in suggesting that you use hills and planting to hide the edge and that flat green area that runs between the project area and the pano. I didn't mention it since you used an elevated view for your picture, but again I warn against getting too close to the edge; sometimes you can't hide them and they can make a really ugly view.

Btw, you might want to post future developments in the Course Design section below this one.

thanks for the comments it is very elevated and the background dont show up as much down low just really wanted to know if the green and bunkers was good enough.i didnt want to spend months doing it if it was up to scratch.
i can see the section i should have posted in sorry about putting it in here

[Indy Anna Jones]

NP, that's just the section for building projects. My answer to your questions about greens and traps, on first sight is an unqualified very nice job, please continue.
