This is a 16x16 exterior area of desert canyons originally developed for a personal project that is now canceled. Areas of interest include five cave entrances, burrowed holes for housing nasty little critters, and an oasis with a waterfall built with custom VFX. I have also implemented custom rest restrictions such that resting is only permitted in the region of the oasis. The area also enjoys very smooth frame rates given the minimal amount of vegetation, which tends to slow things down.
Please feel free to make use of as much or little of the area as you like, though acknowledgment is appreciated.
Thanks for your votes, Ugly_Duck and NWN DM! As someone who played PnP in the 80's, I'll be really excited to wander around Greyhawk. :)

Looks great. With some minor modifications I'll be using this somewhere in my Greyhawk Adventures series of campaign modules. Thanks.

The shaping of the area and use of textures is great _________________________ Ugly_Ducks Portfolio

Thanks to both of you for your comments and your votes, they're much appreciated.
MokahTGS - I have to agree with you. It was tough to find something that would match the color palette of the area. After reviewing it, I think I actually took a snapshot of the worst looking cave out of all of them, LOL. I think I did a better job of integrating the others, but it's not perfect, I admit. It's also something I worked on before MotB was even out, so my area design skills were less developed than they are now. Thanks again.

Great job on this. The only thing that I see right off the bat is the cave entrance. It looks a bit wonky and not natural. I would suggest using the rock placeables and the black block placeable instead of the cave entrance.

I live in a desert actually, and this looks damn good. Not the same desert as myself... but I can actually see certain things that make me think immediately of the desert. Good job.
