Hi folks,
A few shots of my progress. Very rudimentary at this time but it's coming along. It took me a while to get textures and other decisions down but I think I have it.

Re: Sand Hollow golf course
Looks good Sage, the desert color looks like it could be turned down a notch or two though, a more earthy color perhaps, Just my 5 cents worth (inflation you know)
Re: Sand Hollow golf course
Thanks Glenn,
We'll see what it looks like after planting. I think that might calm the colors down a bit.

Re: Sand Hollow golf course
Tot Hill to do it right has A LOT of detail........A LOT of detail. I have the basics down. I needed a break. It's mind taxing.

Re: Sand Hollow golf course
Keep up the great work, Sage. Tot Hill is taxing when you play it for real. By the way, I've been playing a fun tournament on Tobacco Road with all of Sexy's Ani's. This course never ceases to amaze me.
Re: Sand Hollow golf course
Here is a "beta" of Sand Hollow for those interested in testing it. Danny D. did the awesome pano.
On my system one particular plant changes at a distance. Does anyone know what causes this APCD anomaly?
Please send your test feedback to my email...........sagevanni2010@hotmail.com............Thanks.

Re: Sand Hollow golf course
Yes. That particular plant has been corrupted. Each 2D object that is created must be imported into the planting set. When you do the import, the planting set software creates a "BTX" file. A BTX file is similar to a ZIP file, in that it contains multiple images of the 2D object. There are usually 4 or 5 of these images and they are different in size/resolution. The purpose for this is so as you move different distances away from the object, it will display pictures that you can see from greater distances. If you have one that changes to a completely different image, then that BTX file is corrupt and it contains some different pictures all mixed together. Unfortunately, that file cannot be fixed and needs to be deleted and replaced with a different object.
BTX files are special compressed files (like zip files) and can only be opened, viewed or created by software that is written to use it. Links planting sets just happens to be one of the programs that uses BTX files, and you can extract them with the Links Extender and view the compressed pictures. If you know what the name of the file is, you could extract the files with the extender, and then view them. If so you would see mixed images inside when what you SHOULD see is the same exact picture in multiple resolutions.
I suppose you might try to locate that same file in a different planting set and try to overwrite, or update the corrupt one on your course.
Good luck,
Dan
