I think back to my original lament about the lack of Canadian content-now I'm thinking that the Linksters know more about Etobicoke (west Toronto) then folks who live in the east end...speaking of which I didn't even mention Scarborough or even Oshawa (another Thompson course!)

Hello guys
I need your help once more
Look at this picture, how can I named this texture in game, it surround the green AND the fairway technically it must be the same texture.
I not sure, "FRINGE" or "FIRST CUT"
Thanks for your answers...
P.S. : Thank you once more Stephen Sullivan for your textures, they will fit perfectly this course

[Stephen Sullivan]

You could just call it Fringe, in my opinion. It's what I tend to do with most of the courses I've done.

The textures were just ones I have collected from courses whose designers were happy to allow me to use them. They just had the look I wanted. I've got many of the textures done by McCoist and Acrilix (Lez Marwick), in fact I was sorting through them today.

"FRINGE" or "FIRST CUT"

Fringe...

Im only saying the following for science's sake so to speak, not because I think its something that needs to be done.

One thing you could do if you wanted, is to clone the texture and change the display name of the new one so that there are 2 identical textures, one showing as Fringe, the other as Fairway (or as you say, First cut). Then apply the different textures where you want them. You might think this makes seam blending more complex, but not really. You can do them 2 different ways:
A) The easiest, slightly less clean way: Do them 100% as you would have otherwise done if keeping both areas as fringe. It would mean that for a thin area along the border between fairway/firstcut and rough where the seam blend is, it would be labelled as fringe, even though the majority of the fairway border would be called fairway/firstcut. Big deal? Fairway and Fringe play exactly the same in Links (unless custom properties are purposely tampered with by the designer) so it doesnt affect gameplay. Likely no one would ever notice, even people landing there wouldnt think a fringe is particularly strange. Only ones who would notice would be people who inspect seamblends.
B) The way I did it with Whirlpool: Simply clone the seam blend texture between rough-fringe and fairway-fringe as well and have 2 versions of those ones, applied where appropriate. It takes a tiny amount of time. There is no need to have separate path or multi mappings for them.

Of course, this method only fully works when fairway border and fringe have identical appearances.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I have always considered "first cut" to be the first cut of rough rather than any kind of fairway. Fringe is fringe - the 2 to 3 foot area around the perimeter of the green. Just slightly less puttable than the green surface.

Same here Pete, but Ive also never been bothered by however different designers choose to do it, Im fine with anything as long as its not too confusing to tell how the textures play like, not a big fan of when textures look different to how they play, or are named differently to how they play. I've been planning on making a thread about something closely related to this to check for opinions, about how I consider making things for Nine Bridges. Will do so once I've finished main elevations...

Looking great! We'll definitely appreciate the hard work in the end!
