Hi guys,
There isn't a lot of images of golf courses made by Vue, or any other 3D program. I don't know why. Make a Halloween contest and there we go: zillions of images of zombies, pumkins, etc. But a contest about landscaping a golf course (or just a hole): Nada.
I feel it is a really tough one. And congratulation to those who give it a try.
If you seach for "golf simulator" around, there are companies specialized in rendering golf course scenery to play the game in front of a large screen. Some do a decent job at rendering nice landscape (from terrain elevation, position, of trees, houses, etc.). There are also companies specialized in "yardage books" (little booklets that explain the golf course). They also do a decent job (althought fairly standardized as far as sceneries goes).
Well, I'm just curious to see who will come up with whole hole sceneries. Local sceneries like a couple of golfer on a green are easier to do, but a whole hole, from tee to green, must be a tough one.
