Poly Question

[CHUCK79]

Here's the problem........photoreal ground textures overlaying UT AK terrain mesh. Water looks a little strange along the coast huh?


So what I did was use a flatten polygon in SbuilderX to re shape the coastline (keep in mind these are rough attempts as I've never had this problem before) and this is the result:

Is there a better way? Can I make the transition more smooth instead of a sheer drop-off?

Nevermind.....the airport had no business at that altitude in the first place. I just created a poly around the entire airport and dropped it about 65' and another poly to reshape the coastline. Then I used ADE to lower the elevation of the airport in FSX.

Here's a real world image (not my photo):


Here's a shot of the terrain after I lowered it. (The water is dull because I haven't done the water mask yet)

Do I spy and smell Kodiak CGAS? God RW it has been at least 6 years since I pulled my 1 and only AVDET tour there.

Your senses are very sharp

Got the water and terrain sorted out......a few minor adjustments to make, but very close. Can start modeling hangars soon


USCG76, when I get something together would you mind doing a little testing to help me refine the scenery once I have a rough outline?
I would really appreciate having an opinion from someone who has set foot on Kodiak

You have 25 approach coastline as I remember it. I stood down there once fishing and got a face full of cold spray during a minor storm and ice cycles instead of a beard lol.
