[Thorsten]

Working on improving Hawaii with the new overlay option, re-tuning textures, adding typical shrubs,...

West Maui Mountains:



Oahu, North of Honolulu:



Oahu, Kailua-side:



Flying along Oahu's northern coast:



A first experiment with Kilauea on Big Island:

Now that you have added the ability to apply an undergrowth, so to speak, I suppose new multi-sets of trees, brush and ground covers would go a very long way to enhance the overall quality of our scenery. Obviously only if someone with talent for defining regional definitions was to apply them.

Really nice, especially the third screen.
Where are the Diplodocus

second picture is a must be for new SOTM, these new improvements of shaders and multisets of trees combined look very promising and step forward. Always looking to your incredible and valuable work!

[Thorsten]

Kauai actually has some of the most scenic spots to offer...

Parked in Princeville - imagine seeing this ridgeline when starting up...



The famous Na Pali coast:



And approach back into Princeville:

The new vegetation really brings the scene to life. Awesome job!

[GinGin]

You should put the second one for Best screen of the month, impressive.

It's gonna be part of the new release the vegetation ?

[Thorsten]

You should put the second one for Best screen of the month, impressive.

In fact by my (self-imposed) rules I may not, because the competition has to be fair, so I won't compete with any graphics development that is not yet available for others.

[Thorsten]

Some detail work apart from Volcanoes (the terrain is fairly rewarding to add these kinds of things...)

Waimoku Falls (Maui):



Waipoo Falls (Kauai, Waimea Canyon):

[Thorsten]

Textures and overlay definitions are now pushed to next, you should be able to test most of the visuals shown here. Waterfalls and volcano are still in preparation.

[legoboyvdlp]

Awesome
I take it next means 2017.4.0?

[Thorsten]

The Blue Hole and the Weeping Wall in the old crater of Mt. Wai'ale'ale on Kauai:







(expect the waterfalls on TS by tomorrow).

Indeed, good reason ahah


Impressive the last screens, 2 nd one gives a feeling of depth quite strong

[Matuchkin]

Really nice, especially the third screen.

"It's just the two raptors, right? You sure the third one's contained?"

"Yes, unless they figure out where the master switch is."
