Re: New Project
Terry! SAVE SAVE SAVE!!!! By the time I got to 14 I'd have between 5-10 backups in place. Nothing worse than a crash or shatter when you're that far along!

Re: New Project
Finishing building the last 3 holes last night.... Now I wil go through and smooth and work on all greens get them right, and touch up any areas that need touching up and add tees markers etc....
Should be ready for upload in a couple days...
Rather pleased with it, took a little longer than expected (almost 3 weeks).... After building last 3 holes last night, it took almost 2 hours just to save it....(from all the plantings) .And I wasnt patient...LOL....

Re: New Project
Terry, sorry to hear of your t roubles on #16. I know how you muct have felt, as I have been t here. No matter how hard you try you can never quite duplicate what you had going on and that really hurts. Good news is, you're talented enough to recover most of it. Good luck old friend, Spencer.

Re: New Project
Currently tidying up a few areas, will be uploading tonight, Im done...
I personally think as far as scale, my very best work...I had some great conversations with Wagers about scale and proper construction that helped me tremendously..
It just looks like everything fits (to me anyway) You can stand say on the approach on 4 and just see what what appears to be miles...I really have been concentrating on planting too..I think it shows here...I hope anyway
Hope you all enjoy...I simply named the course
Brookgreen!
Thanks for playing.....

Re: New Project
Terry,
I am very curious about this whole concept as scale. I'm starting to notice the role it plays in making things look just right. Would you ever care to share some of the learning?

Re: New Project

Just as you stated, makes it look right (or realistic) I never really studied that aspect until some words with Wagers made me look at things differently... An example...Hole one on Stone Forest, the huge cliff face behind the hole... I planted a few gigantic trees at the base of it...When I sent Wagers the picture, he said, in real life no way those trees would be as high as the rock face on that cliff.. I made em that big for visual impact but there were not realistic in appearance so I added one or two that would be of normal size and it in fact made the cliff face look even bigger, framed the hole and made it more realistic in scale... The way the forested trees on the mountainside on hole 2 on same course on the right hand size blend with each other and looks realistic in their appearance coming down the side of the mountain...Things like that...
Like some other courses I have built, A giant tree to the north side of a green for added shadowing, a pine tree 105 feet just is not too realistic.... Or foresting an entire area around a hole, without some removal of trees to see a green in the background on an adjacent hole, or the panorama from a distant with normal sized trees that make the framework of a hole just look real..... Those are things I am after now.... I wanted it to be realistic to me...Thats why Brookgreen to me is the most realistic (non real) course I have built...
I hope all that makes sense....Hard to explain...LOL..
Thanks for asking
