GSPro Course Designer — 9-Hole Local Course Build Project Overview I'm looking for a skilled individual to build a custom, lidar-based 9-hole golf course for play in GSPro (Golf Simulator Software). The course is a real local 9-hole layout, and the goal is a high-quality, playable recreation that meets community publishing standards. This is a substantial project that will require patience and attention to detail — you'll be working through each hole individually — but the 9-hole scope keeps it manageable. If you have solid software/development or 3D design skills, the OPCD workflow has a learning curve but is well documented and heavily supported by the community. About GSPro GSPro is a leading golf simulation platform built on the Unity engine, known for realistic ball physics and stunning 4K graphics. The platform supports over 2,500 user-created courses, all built using the Open Platform Course Designer (OPCD) toolset. You can learn more at gsprogolf.com. Required Tools & Skills The standard OPCD workflow involves the following software stack (most of which is free): QGIS — for gathering and aligning geographic/lidar terrain data Inkscape — for tracing the 2D course layout and splining holes Blender — for 3D terrain modeling, conforming meshes, bunkers, and water features Unity — for physics, texturing, rendering, and final environment assembly OPCD Toolset — specialized Blender add-ons and Unity plugins that format everything specifically for GSPro Greenskeeper — the official GSPro utility for configuring gameplay physics, tee boxes, pin placements, and hazards Familiarity with any of the above is a strong plus. The OPCD community offers extensive YouTube tutorials, written documentation, and an active Discord for support. What You'll Be Doing Source and process lidar/terrain data for the course location Spline the 9-hole layout in Inkscape Model terrain, bunkers, greens, and water in Blender using OPCD tools Assemble and texture the course in Unity Configure gameplay elements (tees, pins, hazards, OOB, scorecard) in Greenskeeper Optimize for performance and visual quality Prepare the course for beta testing and community submission Compensation Compensation will be based on estimated time to complete the project. I'm happy to discuss a flat project rate or milestone-based payments once we review the scope together.

Hello, I reviewed the requirements, and the core challenge is translating real-world LiDAR terrain and the existing 9-hole layout into a playable GSPro environment while maintaining accurate elevations, greens, bunkers, hazards, physics, and visual quality. I would use the QGIS to Blender to Unity OPCD workflow to align the terrain and course geometry, build each hole carefully, configure gameplay elements through Greenskeeper, then optimize the finished environment for smooth GSPro performance and community publishing requirements. I have worked on similar terrain modelling, Blender, Unity, GIS, and game environment projects and can share relevant examples once we connect in chat. Also a quick question, do you already have the course location or LiDAR dataset available, or should the terrain data be sourced and processed from scratch? Best Regards, Muskan

The lidar data is what tells you this is a real place, so I'll use that to lay out the fairways and greens, working with the terrain as it is, not forcing it into something it's not. I'll build this using Blender, focusing on accurate elevation changes and rough placement. I'll tackle each hole one by one, shaping the land first, then placing the greens and tee boxes using their specific locations. The main failure point is the scale of the features, so I'll constantly check the lidar against the in-game camera to make sure everything looks right, so no bunkers are too shallow or greens too flat. The community publishing standards are key here, so I'll make sure the textures are clean and the poly count stays reasonable. Preferred Freelancer here, and I have not missed a deadline or gone over an agreed price yet. I need the lidar files and any available photos or ground-level measurements for each hole.

Hello, client ⚡ I can take on the 9-hole GSPro course build with my strongest experience focused on **Unity and Blender**, especially for terrain modeling, 3D environment creation, materials, optimization, and assembling detailed playable environments. I want to be transparent that I **do not have previous GSPro/OPCD project experience**. However, I have strong experience with the underlying Unity and Blender workflows, and I’m comfortable learning a specialized toolchain when the documentation and community support are available. I would approach the OPCD workflow carefully, starting with one hole as a technical proof of concept before scaling the process across all nine. I can handle the Blender terrain/features, Unity environment assembly, texturing, optimization, and the technical preparation required for the GSPro pipeline. I’d also be prepared to learn QGIS, OPCD and Greenskeeper as part of the project rather than pretending to have GSPro experience I don’t have. If you’re open to a developer with strong **Unity + Blender experience who is new to GSPro**, I’d be happy to review the lidar data and course references and propose the first-hole milestone.

Your vision for a lidar-based 9-hole golf course in GSPro is exciting. I appreciate the focus on high-quality, playable design that meets community standards. A key hazard in this project is ensuring the terrain data aligns perfectly with the layout. If the foundations are off, it can lead to frustrating gameplay and poor community reception. Getting that wrong can mean extensive rework, wasting both time and resources. I'd start with sourcing and processing the lidar data first, ensuring accuracy before moving to layout and modeling. This approach minimizes later adjustments and sets a solid groundwork for the entire project. I’ve navigated similar projects, routinely refining designs based on feedback and revisions. This iterative process helps ensure the final product truly resonates with players. Do you want to explore the possibility of us getting this sorted together? I’m happy to discuss this further in a free consultation, regardless of your decision.
