So for my golf course I will be doing the inside of a whales mouth. For now anyway. Not 100% sure how its going to pan out :P

Got my textures lined up! here is the first one. The base texture for the wall lining.

First attempt at the green. Will be going through a few different iterations.

I can recall there being a whale in your last contest entry!

I look forward to your progress dude. Really enjoyed your VG-Remix. I for one think that you should have placed higher...

All the best of luck!

I may have a whale related obsession but they are so versatile! Thanks a lot I'm hoping to do better in this one

Started the initial blockout. The current logic is we start on the tongue, Then make our way into the stomach where there are bits of chomped up golf course! The flag pole is on a bit of suspended golf course. So you have to put it through a hole or whack it up the stomach lining though I still need to test that in engine :P

Any crit or questions appreciated

It reminds me about kingdom heart video game. Where main character enter the Whale to find Pinocchio. I like where you are going so far. What are the obstacle in the whale.

AzzaMat · Jan 2014

thanks Buddhafox! yeh I'm taking some of my reference from that

as for obstacles there will be a few opening and closing ventricles that you can hit the ball through to get a better score. Though I want to add more, I need to play test it a bit first.

Did a little stomach acid texture today, I put some of the earth that the level will be submerged in to add a bit of depth at the top. Let me know what you guys think.

Ahhhhh! Your textures look so cute, and your concept seems solid! Can't wait to see dem textures gettin' slapped on the model!

Also, are you thinking of doing anything crazy for your skybox? How had you intended on approaching that artistically?

AzzaMat · Jan 2014

So I was in two minds about this. I was going to do it where you had to get the golf ball into a section of the whale which it then shot out of its blowhole to reveal the remainder of the course. But I thought I might be overcomplicating it so i'm sticking to the inside of the whale for now. So I won't have a skybox because its all going to be inside the whale.
If I was going to do it I would have gone with a mixture of handpainted and using the reduce noise function on some cloud pics to do it

I really like your course layout! It has a nice difficulty with tons of room for making it look nice. Definitely going to be following this one. Good luck!

Tongue texture done. Must find time to work on this!

AzzaMat · Feb 2014

YAY I finally found some time to work on this! :P Here is an update on the environment

Let me know what you think

AzzaMat · Feb 2014

Up till one but got it finished. Any critique or suggestions are welcome, otherwise i'm calling this done! A bit annoyed at my final renders which are coming out way over saturated, the video is a much better version of how it actually looks.
