Sleeping Bear Downs - work in progress

[JReel]

Hey guys,

Still plugging away slowly on this one. Below are some updated screenshots. I'm in the process of doing hole overheads (something I am admittedly not very good at). You'll see in the first few screenshots that I've landed on a style using a sepia filter. Have a look and let me know what you think. I welcome any and all comments. Once I have the hole overheads done, I'll be pretty close to asking for some play testing volunteers. Thanks.

I’m so glad you are still at work on this one! I will be pleased to play it if you need. I think its really looking classy! Having never created a course for JN6, I always marvel at the talents that have brought this game to life. I will leave artsy advice to those who know what they are talking about

But I will say that the hole overheads are straight-forward and attractive.

Thanks tarheel. Appreciate the feedback. Any other thoughts out there??

The textures are absolutely perfect. Very well done. The elevation work is outstanding. I doubt it could be done any better!! Can't wait to see the final 18!!

Hi Jeff,

I've loved the look of this course since you first posted images of it. As for the overheads, I prefer coloured ones, that clearly show the different textures of the course. But each to his own. I do love the little emblem!

I would be more than happy to play-test for you.

Cheers

Brad

As an update, thanks to BradTheDad and tarheel, Sleeping Bear Downs has been playtested and is ready for play. However, I have been spending time lately doing some tedious work related to texture blending and some other clean up work. This course has been a labor of love and has been on my hard drive for over eight years now. So, I just want to make sure the finished product is as good as possible. I'm inching closer to the end and hope to have the course released in the not to distant future. Some screenshots below.

The detail work will make this fantastic design a royal flush! Nice work
