I've played follow cam for ages in many golf games but it ruins the immersion and also the look the golf course and designer was going for. If you play follow cam and don't keep a course because it doesn't have many trees way in the distance because the camera is a frickin mile up that's YOUR fault, I know it's mine but I do like the follow cam..... 

 

Personally if your not going to keep it probably then just don't download it at all and save some bandwidth.

 

 

I think it's very case by case, course by course.

For instance, follow cam is awesome on the Napa Silverado, Bandon Courses, Chambers Bay, most of the 1st party options and lots of courses really - if not most.

 

There's a sweet spot between "nothing" around a course and some effort put into surroundings to look reasonable.  

Naturally, a lot of it depends upon what the surroundings of a given course actually are and what would be realistic to do both in terms of energy expended as well as any performance concerns.

 

Re:  Immersion & the Follow Cam:

I think this is very subjective and simply a preference.  I'm playing digital golf, at least partially, to be able to do some things that one can't in real life.  I think it's really cool to be able to fly along with the ball in follow cam.  I've been a huge FC fan since as long as I can remember it being an option in golf games.

 

Re:  Bandwidth:

I'm pretty sure a few people plucking down a course file from Mega.nz is a literal nano-eyedropper nothing in the galaxy of traffic for someone like Mega.  

I have no idea why we'd be worried about that honestly.

so drop, does unity except 32 bit,or just 16 bit.

32 bit HDRIs are fine with Unity. But then only thing you can adjust in PS is exposure, gamma, some offset etc.. I haven't tested 16 bit HDRIs.

Looks so very nice in screen shots, but I'm just wondering how it feels when the ocean isn't moving at all :unsure:.

Skybox's sun and in game shadows are not in line with each others. Easy to fix though.

Skunky, I'd have to play it to see if I care that the ocean doesn't move. Based on these screenies, I wouldn't care. Those images are absolute beauties! Love your fairway texture.

I agree that I’d also have to play it.
It’s really hard to know about feel on something like this from static shots.

hope everyone has a great thanksgiving.

Thanks for posting Skunky.  I for one love the Trump courses you've released.  Any update on the new version of Summerlin you've been working on?

I don't know if you caught this post of mine in this thread Skunky, but the problem still exists on the new version of Hudson.  I haven't tried Colt's Neck yet to see if it's on there.

 


The only issue I noted was the 3d/2dg going through the left and/or right side of the cartpaths throughout the course.

being an older course,i would have to go back and completely redo all the splines to fix that issue,so not going to do that.

Just played a full 18 on Hudson Valley 2020. What a spectacular improvement this version has become! The lighting is fantastic, and with the new pano's absolutely stunning views! Love the green textures too. The FPS is great, anywhere between 50 and 70 all the way through. All in all a beautiful upgrade. This is another feather in your already full cap Quade! Next stop: Colt's Neck! :wub:
