how about jeronij's ploppable rocks? maybe that could add variety?

thundercrack83

Those waterfalls look great, Pat! And I love the little town that's built up around the mill. I don't know why you were worrid about "being good" at creating an MD, you're doing a fantastic job! Keep up the good work!

Hey, I like your stuff.  ;D You do nature scenes and terraforming really well and I like anybody who enjoys the good ol' Slaytforke mill as much as I do.  ::)

emilin

Wow! What an improvement with the change of water! :thumbsup:

If I may make another suggestion too: you might want to use a little denser forestation along the shoreline, maybe some pines or douglas furs.

This is showing great promise.

Hello Pat, this is a good improvement for sure  :thumbsup:

As other has suggested, I would try using less dense plopable stuff on the shores, and maybe a bit more variated items  ;)

Other that this, way to go ¡¡¡¡  ;D

Pat, my friend-

As one who has dabbled a bit in ploppable water techniques myownself, I have to observe that there are no objectively "right" and "wrong" ways to do this.  You need to go with what you think looks right.  My take on doing PW is that, over time, you'll develop a style that will continually refine the best of what you're doing while rejecting the clunkier elements.  Every time I add something new to my own PW palette, like cycledogg's boulders or sorchin's ploppables, I find myself fumbling around for a while until I get the hang.

Your efforts here immediately brought to mind those of our brother member Alek (aleking) over at ST in October, 2005.



That and other examples are found over at ST in a thread [linkie] started by another SC4D friend: Gary (Vandy).  You'll see some other familiar faces there as well.  Sadly, most of the links noted in the thread are broken, but if you have any questions, let me know- I can probably steer you in the right direction.

Keep up the hard work and Good Luck!

Pic 1:  We are seeing a larger scale view of what i had done,  This is a small tributary river flowing off Founders River.


Pic 2:  We see a closer up shot of the mouth of small river.


Pic 3:  We see a small section of the river.


Pic 4:  We see a small water fall flowing pretty smoothly.


Pic 5:  We now see the river flowing away into the next town.


Pic 6:  Here is the Founders Mill revamped a little bit.






I will have comments to the prev. post later but now i have to go for Defib training.   Cleeeeeeeear!!!!!!!!

The teaser looks nice. Can't wait to see more.
As David said, PW is a matter of developing skills and style, and from what I see in your teaser, you're making of rapids is you''re own style  :thumbsup:

Well , you have the spirit to show us there your start and progress , listening at all good advices which can be gave here ... I don't see anything I could add : less stuff on shore and more variety along the river , It has been already said ... I can just advice you to train on another map with little sections of shore/river and test many combinations instead of re-done all that you've already done ... ;)
Keep it up ! :thumbsup:

I'm always impressed by people who play to make natural landscape ! What you've done is great ! And like others, maybe the rocks are not that various (bad english sentence ^^)

Now, see?  So there you go.  pat, my guess is that you'll be a dab hand at PW before you know it.  I'll be getting around, btw, to starting a PW discussion thread this week.

Great new pic- I always feel a little proud when I see someone who's started doing "land" bridges.

Fishin' season soon, pat.  Wish I was able to spend a week somewhere in Manitowish Waters [linkie] this summer.  I'd probably catch more fish in Alaska, but you can't beat northern WI for ambience.
