WOW!!!

 

Looks stunning... wondering If we can still give it a tropical look to this map, is possible to change the trees?

 

Yes, the trees look like ... cheap plastic

Hi.

I used Stairway and Mustang mods and great respect for them for their work. But I have been using Barthek's mod for over a year and I have to say that it suits me best. I look forward to the rest.

Have been following you elsewhere in the meantime. Good to see you back. As for these textures, the fields look good for a general European look. Crisp and sharp, (But not much like the actual fields in the Caucasus region, as you know). I still like it though. Trees look too dark. Also, I am very interested in your noise textures, as they constitute the largest portion of the map. Looking forward to see this progress.

Hello,

 

thank you for your interest in the project. I want to make the Caucasus look as authentic as possible now, hence, I haven't finished editing fields yet. Below, please find the latest results of my experiments, based on the satellite image of the region. Other textures (like trees) have been taken from my last mod, so please disregard them, as they will be changed to match the whole scenery.

As you can see, the main focus for me is to get as much detain as possible from the fields, making them look authentic from both - low and high altitudes. Once I am happy with the results, I will move on to other textures.

 

Regards,

Barthek

You have always been very good with field textures, and these ones look top of the line. The real challenge now is to combine them with a good noise. This is very difficult, but I have faith that you can pull it off after seeing these pics. If I may sugggest something is that you avoid baked in forests (Which you usually don't do anyway). In your last mod posted elsewhere, the noise was ok, but looked a bit off at lower level. The balance, both in harmozing the general colour scheme with the fields, as well as making it good at high/med/low alt is truly challanging. Also btw- I think the mountain textures you had in the last one was top notch.

Awesome. Thank you so much, Barthek

So, you will change the trees, as well ?!

If so, could you please modify the hight?

They are way too big / tall

I think you're right, thanks for the help.

 

Unfortunately that's what I get If I try to repaint the terrain to get a tropical look.

How I wish Starway could build a Green Thunder mod for 2.5!

I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!

IMHO, the fields look not that bad now, so I will move further, focusing on the trees and cities. I'll see what I can do. Stay tuned!

Amazing. It looks great

Thank you so much, Barthek

Only those ugly / awful / creepy trees .....

Colored roofs would be great, too, but that's a different story

 

:D
