In the meantime if anyone* (disclaimer) on PC feels like doing any work on Valderrama or Hillside to help me out (while I have this "real world" stuff going on) then send me a PM on here to discuss things.....maybe then they can actually get published some time this century
Just off the top of my head, on Valderrama the main thing(s) that need fixing up / finishing from a playable point of view are:
1. Some of the bunkers to get the shapes closer to the real ones (this is really just the "jagged edge" ones which is not really possible to do with splines so some may need totally re-doing)
2. The approaches to some greens re-surfacing in fringe texture (already done about half of them and its a pita to do tbh but again makes it more accurate to what the actual course is like)
3. A couple of greens tweaking slightly in position and shape as the real ones have been changed from what OSM / GEP showed.
Apart from that its mostly cosmetic stuff to bring the overall level of accuracy up to par (no pun intended )
If anyone did decide to help out then it would be entirely up to you to choose what, and how much stuff you wanted to do....every little bit helps at the end of the day
Obviously everything can be discussed before anyone committed to do anything.
Disclaimer
* "anyone" = subject to you knowing what you are doing in the designer (and lidar potentially) before I trust you with this project.
I only say this because Valderrama is probably my favourite course in the world (partly down to it's history with Seve and the Ryder Cup) so I want it to be as good as it can be and as accurate to the real thing as possible with the limitations we have within the designer....which is the main reason it was taking me so long to do in the first place. Therefore I obviously I don't want someone who doesn't know what they are doing to f**k it up near the end after all the time and effort that has already been spent on it
Since I’ve been badgering you to finish this, I should probably offer to help!
My last released LiDAR course is “Stoke Park Country Club (L)”
Have a quick look and if you’re happy then I’ll take this on, I’d want to finish it in your image though so a “to do” list would be really helpful.
I also did a course called “Mill Ride GC, Berkshire, UK (L)”
That was my first LiDAR course so you should see the progression with Stoke Park and then ultimately St. Enodoc when I release that.
I’ve got a project about 2 weeks away from completion so would have the time thereafter.
Feel free to drop me a DM if you want to talk,
Cheers
Pat
