The time needed to generate the shadow file is excessive for me. How many 2d objects are planted on the course? Rule of thumb I use is to keep it at 1 or 2 million max. Do the grasses have a top view? This is likely the issue. The trick to getting rid of top views is to add a new grass to the object...

This is working well for me. I hope others can get it to work for them and share their experiences.

With all the talk of AI and automation and bots scrolling social media, I have always wondered if there was anything that could be done to automate work in the APCD. After a few YouTube videos and getting into coding with Python, I have found a way to automate the clicks needed to add vertices aroun...

There is a vert used for a seam blend that is below the level of the reflective water. It would be rendered in Pete's screenshot.

To me it looks like the green contours use the old 2018 lidar DEM (pre-renovation) with the new green lines (post-renovation).

The greens on holes 6 and 15 are not contoured correctly. I made copies of the strackaline green contours available when the 2023 PGA Championship was being previewed. I can't verify the accuracy of the Strackaline contours but they look right and are the best source of info I know of that is availa...

It is good to see you back at the APCD again Glenn. I took a little break over the spring but I also have the itch to get back into it. I am excited to see what you do with Oakmont! The problem I ran into with using course terrain settings is the physics of the rough. There seems to be some hard cod...

Yes, I am actually working on it again now. I changed the rough and grass textures and added 3D tees. I am also going to try something different for the crowds and a little bit of a tournament feel.

I could get you the green contours for the 18th green. There is not much lidar coverage for the course.

Your APCD crashes seem much more random than mine when I was over the texture limit. This makes me think it may be something else causing your grief, but we are talking about the APCD here! My crashes, when I was over the texture limit, was always when trying to open the course. I vaguely remember a...
