Hello To All!

I hope you are not too terrified but - your eyes don't lie, I am not ill but this is just my second update within a week. Seems to be that sometimes wonder really happen

You really see:

Update 10: Rammelsbach II

An Addition to the last update:

I just modded the culvert so that it can be plopped on water - the base texture itself stayed transparent. The creek behind the street is a tad higher that the ingame water surface. Such small slopes aren't unrealistic.

Then I layed out some pebble stone textures and plants and ... eh voila!

Pic 10.1: An Empty Hill

I wasn't finished with the map last time. Today we are going to plant a forrest on that hill - more precise: a middle-european style mixed forrest.

Between the road / the houses and the forrest there's a HV line that needs to be kept clear off high trees etc. Here I just finished the primer.

Pic 10.3: After Planting The Trees

I didn't want to have a forrest between road and HV line. Because of that I planted only some trees and bushes there. I began with this pine mono forrest but didn't like it so I continued with the mix treen. I didn't blast the pines to show the contrast.

From another angle. IMHO the most important part of a good forrest are the borders of a wood with their most of time different flora. No good border = no good forres ...

Right now the leaves of most trees have the same greyish green (they will begin to change colour in some days I think). But in May and June all trees show a different green and this is what I was trying to achieve so I used almost all trees from my plugins ...

BTW from that angle the jagged edge of the creek doesn't look too ugly ...
