I didn't have the original .png images I used in that post but I made new ones. Going forward I will now edit my posts to re-add old attachments. Thanks for keeping me straight Andy!

Seriously!

I you can find a textured 3d model of a zamboni I can have a look at importing it. The possibilities are endless! I have browsed a few free 3d model websites and have found some nice buildings I want to use.

The answer to both questions would be yes. I can make a .dem file in QGIS that can be imported into the APCD. This provides a square grid of verts (but doesn't have to be square) usually at 2m (6.5ft) or 3m (10ft) spacing that covers the course area. I also add hi-resolution satellite imagery usuall...

This should be the .pdf I posted to start this topic: LIDAR Tutorial 1 Green Contours.pdf It is a little dated as I do things a bit differently but anyone who uses GIS programs would likely have a different way of getting to the same result. It is the concepts of how to work with all the possible da...

Sorry about that Adelade, I didn't notice the question. Nope, I'm not using the clone tool. I only use the APCD in the .zip file created by Danny D available here. I do have a separate APCD directory for each course I work on but that is not relevant for this conversation. Are you able to import a 3...

The course pictured in the screen shot was the 2023 beta version. I can tell the difference based on the lighter textures and the shadow artifacts at the base of the 3d bridge. I separated the 3d bridges from the reflective water and reduced the number of verts in the water for the 2024 version. I h...

Amazing work Sage! Your full time job must be the APCD! Incredible how fast you brought this course to life.

If you or anyone out there can find a free 3d model on the internet ( Wavefront .obj and UV textured) that would work for a club house I will look into converting it for the APCD.

Hi Luenz! Yes the 2024 version is the update of the 2023 beta. There are new textures, new tee markers, I added some more vert details to the greens, added a visual fringe to the greens, and the biggest change is the new texture properties for the fringe. I think I will do one more update next year ...

Your issues ***might*** be a user account issue in Windows. I remember with Windows 10 the default or first user account was 'admin' level access. It was a while ago but I remember having some issues with some old programs even with the admin level. I made a new user account at the 'administrator' l...

Thanks Sage!

This updated version feels more polished with the texture changes and the 3d tee markers.
