[Kde-games-devel] Kolf Art?

[Arturo Silva]

Too tired to go too in-depth.  But I did test out the program further
(based on the texture editing instructions provided a few weeks
earlier) utilizing the following sample pixmaps (exported from SVG
files):

[yes even the send one to test the "add texture" feature]

My test didn't involve creating a new heightmap yet (I'm interested in
that), but at least with jagged terrain like this I can definitely see
that whimsical abstract textures won't lend themselves well to this
format. Perhaps to flatter heightmaps, but that I'm afraid caps the
creativity of anyone wanting to creating a custom course.

So it seems we may ahve to go with photorealistic style after all,
although this would mean the use of raster images (PNG files) instead
of vector.  On the other hand, I likely will want to continue
experimenting with other repetitive styles since I'd prefer we stay
within the SVG format (else the appearance deviates too far from other
KDE games).
