Hi ,
manga rivotra, I hope you’ll don’t mind that I’ve cut a part of one of your mosaic to focus on
Orange_o_’s Populus and post it here, that’s while looking at your fabulous work that I decided, whatever
alejogc13 will release, to rework them. Quite a simple hue /saturation/luminosity and size changes.

On one hand, the picture is less striking, that’s also due to their resizing, but on the other hand, they’re more realistic and I would have mostly to reduce their spacing along the canal, which is about twice larger than what I had in mind, like on that real picture;

Work in progress; moor and heathers…

That’s a good start, but I’m not satisfied with the result which looks too much like a piling up of spheric heathers instead of real carpets...

…so, I’m going back to work.

Thanks for your comments. To release a complete
VIP Rural Pack Vol1 upgrading would be an immense (and complicated) task, not only the visual aspect needing to be upgraded, but also the Moding; timed props, evergreen version for flora MMPs, kSC4FloraParametersProperty of all examplars of all MMPs and a better .dat files organisation (
Girafe’s uploads will be my reference). At least, being a
VIP Team member, no need to run after authorizations.

So, I’ll try to upgrade things one by one, progressively. The first item to be released will be
Orange_o_’s Populus, via a direct link to my DropBox posted here, so watch this place regularly. For today, I’ve decided to share my Terrain Mod like it is, I planned to test some changes but considering that my To Do list has no end…
Link to download it:
VIP Terrain Mod Of course, you have to remove any other Terrain Mod of your
Plugins folder, HD textures mean game set on
Hardware rendering. Beach, rocks and water are in the
VIP Terrain Mod Optional subfolder where you can replace them with your favorite ones ...
Hope that you’ll give it a go and enjoy it.
