South Pole: DESERT edition!
« on: May 19, 2016, 02:56:06 pm »
This one was born from a little boredom, and thorough dislike of the geography of South Pole.
I felt the hilly geography really fitted a more warm environment. So, I stuck some lovely sandy textures onto the snow and played around the particles a bit, and this is what came from it. Perfect for roleplaying and preventing your character from freezing to death! The only thing I wasn't able to change was the behaviour of the particles, so although they look like large chunks of sand, they still behave like snow. Sorry about that.

Again, this isn't a huge mod, but I certainly do prefer sandy South Pole, to snowy South Pole.
Perhaps I'll try working with some non-collision meshes next? Who knows.

Here's a few previews.

YESSSSS

I always thought that a hilly snowy place made no sense. This looks legit now. Sand always forms in more hilly patterns and what not. I love the portal <3 This actually looks really cool. Nice work!

Omg.
This is wonderful haha, nice to see that you've been venturing with your creations a little bit more openly; I use your portal mod and it's absolutely amazing. Can't wait to see what you release in the future. ^w^

Thanks for the great reception, guys! Wasn't sure what the community would think of this, heh.

@LordSuragaha, yeah, that's entirely the reason I re-textured it. Snow doesn't entirely form hill formations unless it's supported by something, and by the shape of these hills, they're not. Sand piles easily and looks much better on South Pole.
Looks like global warming hit South Pole hard!

@Shurtle, thanks! Yes, I'm really trying to mod things that aren't usually touched by most modders. It's a bit of a change.

As for everybody else; thank you!
