Entry 76: Hefnall Forest East

Welcome back to some more scenes from Cindersville! Thanks alot for all of your comments- much appreciated!

This time the eastern parts of Hefnall Forest will be explored. Also, to reflect the festive scene, I've included at the very end of this entry a special "present" for your SC4 viewing pleasure.

Let's get started!

During the Spring, Summer and Autumn this dirt car park can become quite full as many drive from Cindersville, park up and walk around either Hefnall Forest or Mount Hefnall.

From the eastern slopes of Mount Hefnall we move eastwards (downwards).

From west to east- follow the paths!

Where the ground is drier or even semi-arid I ensured it be devoid of trees.

The Sudden Valley terrain mod has some amazing dry textures!

The southern borders of Hefnall Forest meet up with the area of Hefnall itself (a town within the Cindersville urban city area).

Another stellar entry! The placement of the paths, fences, VIP cars are all just super. Very lovely entry that I know would have taken a long time to make. *:thumb:

Fantastic attention to detail!  Your entry looks absolutely amazing!  I have to ask, what did you use for the path and ground cover textures?

So good! It makes me wish I could explore the forest in person. 

Sadly there is no first person or ground view mode on SC4.

Nice pictures with the mist. And the one with the peak looks really nice. Well done!

The misty pictures are created by using a fog affect on GIMP, the version of photoshop I use.

The actual forest itself took about several hours to complete as all I had to do was fill in the coniferous areas with desert flora which has a very wide footprint. But the rocky areas took considerably longer.

Mother earth would be proud. That is all I have because mattb325 stole my comment.

All nature scenes are inspired by the English countryside!

The path texture comes from FrankU's Heblem paths.

While the ground textures come from Gobias' Sudden Valley terrain mod.

Thanks! The paths and dirt roads are very quick to create, it just requires a steady hand!

Liking the MMP work again - especially the campsites - those took some time and patience I suspect *;)

The cars took a while and a very steady hand!
