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...

I have pushed past the limit of the maximum number of textures a few times when tiling multiple satellite images to a course plot. I originally thought the limit was around 100 unique 1024x1024 textures but the last time I past the limit was with 80 textures and a user.lib file size of 200MB. I now ...

I have been keeping an eye on PGA 2k25 as well but there are some issues that prevent me from getting involved. Pot bunkers are still a big omission in the course designer, custom objects still seem to be not supported, and there will never be the ability to import lidar dem data. It takes an incred...

This looks awesome! The details you put into this course are spectacular!

Can't wait to play a round here. From looking at the DEM the greens have some character. This old course has lots to offer, even if it isn't over 7000 yards.

I had a look at my QGIS work and the DEM I provided was 2m.

Stephen - the courses you mentioned have peaked my interest as well but I couldn't find any lidar data for them, except for Renaissance Club. The Scotland lidar data available only has partial coverage of the course - very frustrating! RobV - I get confused on how the newer 3d software do things rel...

Hi Peter I haven't had a DEM import request in a few months and even longer than that from someone not named Sage. I didn't think there was much interest in the process. I did commit to doing a tutorial so I will complete it. Would you like a personal crash course on the process right now, wait for ...

Ron / Sage would you send me a pm with the latest version of Shadow Creek that you are working on? The excessive save times makes me think there is a bad path mapping geometry. I only ask for one day to look at the course file, that is if you are currently working on the file to get it ready for Dec...

It looks like all edges were turned to hard edges (sharpness 4 or -1) during the 3D work. Select the edges for the course and soften to sharpness = 0.
