Coastal Paradise (AKA "Coast")

[Toru]

"You're taken by the woods even though you're aware
of the slippery cliffs and the big black bears
and the salal snares taller than yourself
Ferns growing as thick as the trees...
And one false step could mean staying the night."
-Said the Whale, B.C. Orienteering

Warning: Possible lagfest here. Due to the size of this map I kept the amount of foliage and detail lower than usual, but it can still get pretty laggy. Don't download if your computer cannot handle heavy maps. It runs okay on my older, 32-bit, 4 GB RAM laptop, but I still feel I should warn potential downloaders.

The map is comprised of two islands: a large untamed wilderness and a small occupied island. It's sort of a remake of my first (unreleased) map, and like that map is based on beautiful British Columbia. I originally planned to add more objects, but it started to get laggy on my computer so I figured it was time to call it done lol. Still, what this lap lacks(?) in mesh detailing, it makes up for with a richly textured landscape. No flatland here! There are plenty of crevices and hidden nooks build into the map's terrain mask.

Welcome to Toru's little paradise on earth! Take in the sights


There is a great lookout cliff from which to view the sunset


If you get tired, feel free to stay in the cabin


The deerskin rug is very comfy! It's the perfect place to enjoy the roaring fireplace (note: please let me know if you cannot see the rug or fire)


There is plenty of landscape to explore. Thrill seekers may choose to jump off the bridge into the ocean, but be forewarned that there is a risk of hitting the rocky bottom. Dive at your own risk lol.

The smoke is the fire mesh with the fire part removed.
There are a few other meshes in there, but I don't know who made them. If you know, please let me know so I can give credit :3

Beautiful and awesome map, it is a island with a mountain forest great for explore and roleplay mountain animals.
Has a lot of trees and can climb in it.
I love it

Nice map! It's detailed with various objects and the heightmap is well made. Though I'd have to say the size of the file is huge, but that's okay. xD

the portal should show up in cape. the portal to cape is on a small island across the water from the n/z its an easy map to download so if you put everything in the export folder it should show up

Thanks for the complements everyone, and sorry for the late reply. I've been away from FH due to life getting in the way of online stuff.
Glad you guys enjoyed the map
