Coral World
« on: September 10, 2010, 09:48:28 PM »
Here are couple of screenshots of the updated Okinawa terrain which is coming to the AvA and SEA soon. There are five historical custom airfields and also Naha town on the main Okinawa Isle.

This terrain use mostky HTC's Pacific texture set, but I created new farm textures with the Google Earth. I also worked very long with the corals, rivers and sea bottom and learned very many ways to make them looking nice. We can now make there whole new world under the water!  ;)

There are coming couple of beaches here and there, but only where they appears in the real world. I don't understand why everybody are filling every coastline inches as fat beaches, they are unatural. Maybe because everybody else are making them so... ;)

Okinawa's landscape has many narrow (appr. 50-100 meters) and long beaches, but TE allows the minimum terrain texture's (in the gndtype.bmp) spot about 200 x 200 meters. I have done those landscapes with the Google Earth on my second monitor only adding more forestes as there were about 65 years ago. There is very usual grass and forest strap between the fields and ocean. Then there is a sharp embankments after that green area and down there are beaches before sea. So it is very difficult to create as in the nature. I hope HTC release some day embankments and cliffs as IL2 has... :pray

Thank you and you are almost right!  ;)

Left airfield is Yontan and right one is Kadena. Naha town (city) is a little more south from that Okinawa battle's invasion beach. You can see it in a picture 1 and 4 (behind the Naha airfield). Naha town and all those airbases, also Ie Shima airfield are done from the aerial photos from 1945. I have also done a very small fighter working base. Almos all the bases' situations are historical, but sometimes there are couple of small fictitious bases on  small isles aeound Okinawa Main Isle because of the playality.

Here are picture from the narrow beaches here and there:

Here's Mt. Gusugu on I Shima. I made it from different level shore batteries and they also work! I tried also acks on the the roofs of those batteries, but it crashed the game. I am building also the same type "mountain" peak to the Mt. Motobu. Those both were hard battle fields on Okinawa.
