NHP FLOG - Modular Golf Pack

[jplumbley]

I am pleased to announce....

NHP has moved past the realm of mapping and is aspiring to reach New Horizons.  We started a project about 5 weeks ago, nicknamed Freakish Links Of Gophers (after the movie Caddy Shack).  We set out to test ourselves in the realm of modding and lotting.  With some help along the way from Barbyw(modding expertise) and Jeronij(lamppost prop).

The project has turned out to be one of the greatest combined efforts I have ever been a part of and has brought us closer together as a group!  And now our project is in the testing phase of its development.  This thread is for now the testing grounds for the next week or two for pictures and comments.  I hope you all enjoy what this project has become.

Release Date is set for about 2 weeks from now.  (just a few loose ends to clean up before final release)

Included in the project:(specs will come later)
     NHP FLOG Holes Vol1
          A set of 9 modular hole lots ranging from 2x5 in size to 4x9 in size.

     NHP FLOG Fillers Vol1
          A set of 8 filler lots (5)1x1s and (3)2x2s.

     NHP FLOG Paths Vol1
          A set of 4 path lots that connect with each hole.

     NHP FLOG Clubhouse
          One lot that will be a reward lot (a future pack may be released with more clubhouses)


List of Dependancies expected for the entire project:
     CSX Mega Props - Vol1 to 5
     CSX BAT Props - 2006a
     CSX BAT Props - 2006b
     BSC MEGA Props - Gascooker Vol01

I take a quick pic



Nice 

[jplumbley]

Awesome wou!  Its blending very well!  Hows the budget stuff look?  Did the Menu Icons come in Numerical order?  And is the query working?

[HabLeUrG]

I tested it, and i think everything is perfect 



just a question: can I use this at my CJ Our Mini Earth for my next update? 

[jplumbley]

Not a problem Hable!  Nice picture!  I see the query is working.  What do you think about the Budget stuff is it a good cost, or too expensive or not expensive enough?

Nice project, I'll be able to try to copy the golf courses settings of the many ones I have near by where I live. I have at least 10 golf courses in a radius of 20 kms, and usually when I go for my ride bikes I pass just by them. If you guys need photos, I can take some this next weekend (Sunday).

JP, I just done something very simple last night. It is a proposal for the clubhouse. it's a fairly mordern look, and the shape resembel some golf element. of curse it is just a proposal, lots of thing can be changed. I am not sure if everyone prefer a more traditional looks like the ingame clubhouse. just let me know.

[jplumbley]

Dms That is simply awesome!  I totally love it!  Go for it, this can be part of the future Clubhouse pack.  What will the size of hte footprint be on that?  Can you get it to 3x3 or 4x4 maximum? 3x5 wouldnt be too bad either.  That way I can fit it on a lot with parking, pick-up and drop-off area, etc in a lot under 10x10.

[HabLeUrG]

dmscopio: thats pretty nice 

I have started mine yesterday, so I will make only 1 contry club, sorry... wil be basing my desing
from this drag..

(srry for this embarrassing picture, i know dms pic is much beter, but...)
Also will make some gulf cars garage and a small restaurant, anything else? like a parking lot etc?
tonight will make more important advance

[jplumbley]

Hable... dont put yourself down man!  That is an awesome choice... I really like it and it will be an awesome building for a clubhouse.  Keep it up your starting layout looks great.  And do as many as you want I am just greatful for one

[HabLeUrG]

okey thanks 

added a second floor and roof


edit: now im working on the pool area, then to the windows and textures, so will show here my building and you tell me if I could make better the textures because im not good at it

[blade2k5]

I like both Habs and dms club house designs.  As for which one, how about making them both club houses and giving the downloader the choice of which one they'd like to use?  Just a thought for you to ponder on.  Other than that, this golf course project is shaping up really nice.  Excellent work guys.

[HabLeUrG]

here is my progres, please tell me if the texture are correct... there still alot to do



for now need to add the windows, and some more details to all the building, and many more small things like chairs, tables, etc

tell me what you think?

heh heh heh,

Hableurg goes from putting down his work, to creating a marvelous building in like an hour.

Ya really turned on the jets for that one!! Maybe both lots (dms and Hab) could be combined into a compound clubhouse with a driving range and parking lot included on them. What do you think?

JP, I just done something very simple last night. It is a proposal for the clubhouse. it's a fairly mordern look, and the shape resembel some golf element. of curse it is just a proposal, lots of thing can be changed.

I think you should work some more on this one....is a really spectacular model 

Hableurg, your model is also looking really nice. Another style, but really nice. May I make a few suggestions before you make the final render?
The tile in the pool floor do not look very eye-candy... not sure what is the problem with them,but maybe it is only my eyes 
The water texture looks too repetitive. You could try with a bigger texture, or play with the actual and try to make it more seamless.
The tenis courts scale....If my building's scale perception is correct, only one tenis court could be placed in that small space...

The model itself is really really nice, and the more I look to it, the more I like it 

[jplumbley]

Holy crap... I go away for the night an look at what Hable does.

Awesome work.  On the second floor in the SE wing of the building can you make it a balcony type area with railings instead of windows... You havent put windows in yet so that is probably what you were going to do anyways.  I agree with Jeronij on the water texture, try what he said

To clear things up a bit.  Blade2k5... That is an awesome idea and has been my plan from the begining.  I have a clubhouse lot made from existing Gascooker models, but these two buildings will be better than what I came up with.  Nevertheless, all three lots will be released as separate uploads so users can choose which one they like best.  Also, each of these 3 lots will be a reward lot with the same stats as the in-game Country Club stats.  So, if you were to download all 3 of them you would be able to have 3 clubhouses for 3 different golfcourses in 3 different areas of the city.  But, like the in-game Country Club each Clubhouse will only be allowed to be plopped once, this is to make a limitation on the amount of demand relief you will recieve and promote variety.  I am pleased to say we now have a post-modern model coming along from Dmscopio and a classic mediterrainian/mexican style model from Hable.  And my english style lot with models from Gascooker.

[HabLeUrG]

okey a couple things to do...


-Need to fix the tennis court, so by making only one? or just more in other side of the building? dunno just helpi me at this? or should I remove it...

-Need to fix the pool water and walls, the wall texture I got from this one... ( I made it by fireworks)

and the water texture:


That part without windows its a balcony, so will be as you see it, do you want me in adding anything else in there?

Thanks for the help
