INTRODUCTION Welcome to EA SPORTSTM Course ArchitectTM, a complete 3D development environment. The Course Architect lets you develop courses for use in Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 2003 in full 3D. For years, this tool has been used to design, build, and compile golf courses for PC-based golf games. Now, you can use these professional design tools to build the golf course of your dreams. [. . . ] Select the shape that encompasses the area that is to be smoothed. NOTE: If you select a shape that exactly matches the terrain fea- ture that you are trying to smooth, smoothing has little effect. You need to select an area that encompasses that terrain feature, plus some of the surrounding terrain. One method is to right-click on the shape, select DUPLICATE, and then inflate the new shape through the Properties pop-up. When you smooth the larger, encompassing shape, the inner shape is also affected. In the Smooth pop-up, use the slider bar to select the degree to which you want the terrain in the selected shape to be smoothed. To view the changes in the Camera window, click APPLY. TIP: It's better to smooth an area a little bit many times than to smooth the area a lot at once. If you want to smooth an area of land without dramatically affecting the elevations, set the Smoothing tool slider towards "A Little" and click APPLY multiple times. Keep an eye in the Camera window to see the effects of each application. To see the changes without saving, click APPLY. 80 To cancel the smoothing, click CANCEL. The effects of smoothing appear in the Camera window and in the Work window. F L AT T E N A N A R E A You can use the Flattening tool to do what no bulldozer ever could.

Otherwise, in the Course Architect, you have to place trees individually or in groups. C L I C K- C L I C K O B J E C T TO O L NOTE: Objects such as trees and rocks can have a significant effect on the update speed of the Course Architect. It's suggested that you delay adding objects until they are necessary. The Click-Click tool allows precise placement of objects on the terrain. With the Click-Click tool, you do not have to place objects within the confines of a selected shape, so you have much greater control of placement of the objects. TIP: Objects such as trees and rocks can have a significant effect on the update speed of the Course Architect. It's suggested that you delay adding objects until they are necessary. To place individual objects, select CLICK-CLICK OBJECT TOOL from the Tools menu.
