I recognise that from Jane's challenge a few weeks ago. You will need Rafael's hole to sink it though.

Welcome to SFTW JJ.  Tiger appears to have grown a little! Either that or you have proved that the golf course is indeed a model 🙂

Dave, I agree with K that it looks like a real photo, and I've just uncovered an earlier take from your photo shoot that you thought you discarded. 😊

Dave I really thought that was a real photograph.

Another masterpiece you created.

Thank you Jane. Created in Blender 3D using particle systems for the grass and trees and a volume shader to create the clouds. Textures applied via Substance painter and the golf bag is from Adobe 3D assets 🙂

I just checked and realised I have spread 15.5 million grass plants, along with 224 XFrog trees and shrubs across the scene. The distant grass is texture, rather than individual plants though. It gave the PC something to do.
