[WIP] Ground texture mod

[philip.ed]

These are more the colours I'd expect to see over England in the summer (paired with RD's excellent photo too. I'd imagine the fields would have had a slightly burnished look from the heat, although there were short rainy periods in the battle, so this would have an added effect too)

Burnished, excellent comment. This all very subjective but i must go out on a limb here.

that top picture is exactly what i want to see in cod. but its taken at around 4 o clock if its at summer. its nice though. you can even see the saturation in the distance together with the atmospherics, thats the image im concentrating on. every single image anyone can provide will always be different, so i will take that as my reference. great picture thanks.

except....that image has a red colour cast..otherwise I agree, the atmospheric effect is what we need.

Yes, I know what you mean about the slightly red tint...it's hard to find photos that will represent the terrain perfectly, but a certain amount of artistic license should be allowed

Excellent work Ali looking forward to testing

thats exactly what im doing now. just adding some idea on top of the reference picture. and theres a old style sentimental flavour in the aesthetics that i kind of like with the desaturated version.

You see, in my humble opinion, the slightly reddish look is characteristic of the summer-season. I think you're fix is great, but some of the fields should have the golden cast that some of the fields in the original picture have...

sorry if I appear to be quite picky

reality cam through a window and through what is probally a "digital" lens. im wanting to apply what the naked eyeball might see. and i see all sorts of anomolies and inconsistancy with cameras. but there are a few key points there in simply how the general colour reacts in bright daylight. cheers ! its like the patches have various mass of light. this is the refelctive element of the colour itself. what the yellows and ligher colours need on the map is a bloom style effect for that mass of light. or atleast a filter in photoshop. ive got various plans now. must chill and take direction.

anyway time for a break, must have put 15 hours into this in the last 26 hours.
