Thanks Sage!

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

There is a new updated version available for this year. It should have addressed most of the issues discussed in this thread. Pin positions are all redone in this version with tournament pins as 0 to 5 with 0's being Sunday pin positions.

Change the water texture in front of #11 to a non-reflective "creek" texture. The small area of water is not flat.

That file conversion cannot be done. Using Links Extender to get 3D out of a course file is not possible. I wish it was possible but I have given up on the idea. You can start with a 3D object in the APCD directory and convert the .xyz and .map files with Links Extender to the .obj and .tga file for...

Yeah, getting multiple verts out of the terrain painter occasionally is something I see regularly as well. I think it is somewhat related to the slope of the terrain where the verts are being added; the multiple verts seem to occur more frequently on side hills for example. Try using edge collapse f...

The .tga filename needs to be woodtee.tga, same as woodtee.x, not the woodteetex00.tga that Links Extender spits out. Try that and see if it works. I have not had any issues converting model types yet as long as the file names match what the model calls for internally. I use GIMP for most image edit...

You need the .x model file to accompany the .tga file so yes you would need Milkshape3D. I'll save you the conversion: WoodTee.x.zip The .x model file references the .tga texture so you need to keep the files names the same. Once the Links Extender conversion is done you should be able to rename the...

I started to explore this idea to see if there was a faster way to get 3D into the game than the usually build out of terrain in the APCD. This topic was a good starting point: https://linkscorner.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=3035#p3035. I originally wanted to get 3D from other courses into the APCD, b...

It would take some work but this could be done within QGIS. It would basically involve doing a DEM plot of every hole, done to the same size, and then placed together in QGIS. Once all the rasters were aligned together in QGIS (maybe a 3x6 tile layout) the DEM import would proceed as usual. The sate...

Too many verts for a reflective water surface. Also remember to flatten.

I'll soon get around to your last pm Sage.
