Re: Arcadia Bluffs

Sage, I am just going through the same process for Gozzer Ranch, and each time I look at the grasses I change my mind. :smile: jwgriffingca » Sun Apr 14, 2024 4:26 pm Sage - I think the wet/green grass looks better with the underlying texture. It's more subdued and blends better. I agree with John. ...

Re: GIMP

Sage, Good morning. I tried the Threshold, but there was no change. It did, however, get me thinking about the settings, and it seems that lowering the Opacity on the bucket Fill from 100 to 95 gives me the finish I want, or at least what I am happy with. All I have to do now is remove the sky, and ...

Re: GIMP

Sage,
Thank you.
I am away from my PC for the rest of the day and I will do what you suggest in the morning, and let you know.
It is very time consuming having to val/save each time, but such is APCD.
Thanks again,
:tiphat:

GIMP

On each course I build I always have a problem with the panorama having a white line across the top of the terrain below the sky. On Mountaintop Golf and Lake Club, Daniel helped me, and when I made the panorama for Black Rock I was determined to learn how to remove the white line myself, and after ...

Re: Terrain Painter

Dan, When I get annoyed with it, I switch over to single-shot verts, and turn off the surface painter. That is exactly what I do. Another annoyance is when you try to add a vert about a foot from a line, and it places it 3 or 4 feet away instead. I see that a lot too. I agree. The painter can save a...

Re: Terrain Painter

Linkster, I think it is somewhat related to the slope of the terrain where the verts are being added; It happens to me when I am adding the green contours as well as on the slopes. :rant: I have never knowingly used the edge collapse before, but I will give it a try when next time. Thank you, :tipha...
