Maybe change the texture of the stone spires to differ slightly to the buildings themselves? Not by much, just a bit.
Other than that looks nice :thumbs:
I think the white pillars are meant to represent some sort of dry coral, and, according to the Wookiepedia article, the locals build their homes out of that stuff, so any resemblance between the buildings and the coral(?) is reasonable.

It's funny, with all the updated architecture the trees look plastic due to the fact that the leaves are perfectly horizontal. Other than that I really like the uniqueness and atmosphere :thumbs:

Did make these for Obiboba3po but not sure if he is ever going to use them.

They are cloth leaves and can go from gentle breeze as above or Hurricaine as shown below

Look awesome, although maybe you should turn up the tilerate slightly on the brick texture (on the ground). :thumbs:

Those trees look incredible. :)

The only thing I'd probably want to change is the height cause they seem a little short, but they really do look incredible.

I went ahead and brought this map up-to-speed with the mod (random skies, control mode, etc.). Like a couple of you mentioned above (and as I'd been planning anyway), I did replace Bandu's Saleucami models with those that I felt fit the map a little better. I made a couple of different plants - a palm tree and a smaller palmetto-esque bush. I made a few other small changes (I know I made at least one other replacement model), textures, lighting, etc., but for the most part there was very little I had to change.

Here are some updated screenshots:

As you can see, one of the random environments is a hurricane setting. Since I'd taken the time to make trees that used cloth physics, I felt it was only fair to find a way to (ab)use them to their fullest. As seen below:

This is also a good time to point out that all of the maps added to this mod have some kind of sound design too - I think too many maps lack environmental sounds where necessary (rain, thunder, etc.) and any of the maps in Rising Son will have fitting sounds where they should - e.g. machinery on Raxus Prime, creatures in the trees on Kashyyyk, heavy winds on Tibrin. It adds a lot to the maps, and while you can't see them in the pictures, I know you'll enjoy them when you play.

Wow, hurricanes... I don't think we've ever seen anything like that. Great work, as always.

Looking good. :thumbs:

The ambient sound is a great detail to add in. I've always neglected to to that in my maps, but over the past few months I've really started to realize just how important it is to the overall atmosphere of a map.

I like the sound of that. It makes me really look forward to Dark Times II. And very nice update! :)
