Well the bad news is that after getting 95% through my entry, the Switch designer has totally stopped functioning. Lost everything... pretty gutted. The good news is that my Series X arrived today... so although I have to start all over again, I now have a decent platform to design on. I liked for the new platform and not for the loss of the course... Were you at a point that you had a routing, planting style, green complex / shape, etc. so the rebuild will go quickly?! And while Q and I didn't lose 95% of our work, welcome to the lost work club for contest 2. We feel ya buddy!

Earlier in this thread (I dunno... Maybe last week. Beats me, everything runs together) - I posted the initial pass of the greens for The Loop at Underbrush Farms (forum name only - also this may expose the reasoning for the name ). Today I thought I would post the current (and highly likely NOT final) tee shots. So here we go! Hole 1 - The Punchbowl Hole 2 - The Biarritz Hole 3 - The 'Redan' Hole 4 - The Plateau Hole 5 - The Maiden Hole 6 - The 'Narrows'

Progress.........1.5 holes done lol my pace is unrivaled. I'm digging the use of the rough! Thanks! It's taking a bit of time to get the sightlines working as I'm going for an angular approach, but this challenge definitely forces some creativity, and I'm loving it despite how I still have a long way to go. Having fun!

I'm enjoying this one thus far and liking what I'm creating. Usually it's the opposite, so I guess I'm probably creating something awful, lol. As opposed to something passable.

Now at the tinker stage, so probably going to make the course worse. Approach to the 1st green, if the drive is good

Today I thought I would post the current (and highly likely NOT final) tee shots. So here we go! Really digging the planting style on this. The corn fields and water tower in the distance along with the rugged on-course planting create a cool feel. The lighting/fog settings really add to that atmosphere as well. Looking forward to seeing how it plays!

Looking forward to seeing how it plays! There's the rub eh...? It can look and feel stunning, but if it plays like garbage what's the point....? I'm still doing A LOT of work on the course for playability.... For instance the third is more of a three shot 5 than I intended... So how do I make the second shot interesting..? I went through and reviewed all 4 pin placements too (trying to develop good habits), and found a lot of pins were in the same areas for each set... Lots of that kind of work on going.

Creating plot again has been unsuccesful so far... also... the new console shows so much more detail its thrown me off a little bit in terms of what things should look like. I'll get used to it then return with a vengeance !

I'll get used to it then return with a vengeance ! Yeah... Having it done won't make it go faster I suppose... I guess I was thinking along the lines of -- if you had things done in a way you liked it, then you don't need to do a ton of experimentation to find what you like. But if the new console is adding that much detail, then it probably makes no difference... Man that really sucks.

I spent an hour or so playing with textures today... I can't figure out what I like, nor what feels more 'natural'... I keep flopping back and forth... Good thing there is still a lot of time to keep flip flopping Original - What I'm considering.... - Also, man I really hate how the bunkers and things render from zoomed out... Look so trashy...

Personally I like the original, lighter fairways. Either way, it looks dynamite!

Anyone else at the so close yet so far stage of publish 2.2? Finding this contest to be tedious at my own fault 🤣! Tropical area and cover planting is a chore... Here’s hoping to hit the button in the 25th hour.!
