After decades of experimentation, I have finally learned the secret of bunkers. I do have to note that you need to use softer brushes to stop those jagged edges. You're definitely getting there, but not there quite yet...

Try the soft oval brush when raising up your bunker lips. I do not do any raising of bunker lips at all, usually and if I do it's for sightlines only. Also this bunker is already too deep, I cant really raise the lip anymore. There are occasions where I do wish to have a steeper face and I've not figured that out yet despite trying all the circle brushes. I also dont want my bunkers to look like bowls. Admittedly I'm no expert. If I post a few more examples, would you critique those as well? I've got a few on my latest that I think are above average at least

ohheycat Going all the way back to PGA2K, raising areas around your bunkers is just as important as lowering the sand. In this forum, there are a couple of threads on making bunkers. There's no right or wrong way, and ultimately, it's up to you what you like or don't like. What I'm doing on my current WIP is this: 1 - Draw bunker/place bunker brush and raise one side of it for better visibility from the tee/FW. 2 - Using the fuzziest brush, raise all the indentations or fingers 1-2 feet (or more if you like) 3 - Using that same brush, set it to flatten and increase the elevation to .5-.9. Then drag it around the interior (sandy part) of your bunker. Be sure to change the size of the brush in order to stay away from flattening any green areas. This will flatten and slightly lower (yes, even at a few inches increased elevation, the bunker will still settle down just a bit) the sandy areas. 4 - Using the same brush, set it to flatten and lower it to -.5 to -.11. Now use it on the fingers that you raised before. This will flatten them and make a sharp edge that looks really cool. I'll put up some pics or a video to show you (you meaning all) shortly. I just can't use my current WIP because I can't publically post images of its progress.
