Aaaaaaaaand I got a bit side-tracked tonight, but in a good way. I was supposed to continue working on the Plains so I could show you all my progress on that front.. But instead, I started editing more terrain in BE and got a little carried away. Some of the edits were done last year, around the front of the beach, but I took the terrain to a whole new level and opened up..most of the map to be explorable. It's currently looking to me like it will link up with TS (Train Station), although that would throw the time-of-day off. I may have to do two versions of TS to account for this.. Anyway!
I am releasing my progress on BE for you all to see.. but also,
I am seeking volunteers to do foliage work for the vast regions newly opened up in the level. The player can now explore all around the southern mountains of Isla Sorna and travel along the rest of the southeastern beach. For now, I'm looking only for people to do foliage and terrain object work (dinosaurs and other things will be done later). The terrain is not in its final form - though it's close enough that foliage can be placed in all the various locations that will be explorable. I will explain this in more detail to whoever gets to do it, but I've placed some random trees around to show the areas I wish to be naturally detailed. Also note that some areas of the terrain which
look climbable are intended to be but.. not quite working yet, which is fine, I'll fix that later.
A final note for viewing! The game must be minimized and then restored in order to have proper fog color.

Enjoy these previews while you wait:
PS: As a note, future content releases for Tres Reloaded will be kept in a shared folder which is restricted to invited collaborators - at least this is my hope. It will require me to send an invitation email to anyone wishing to work on the project. Does anyone have a problem with this? If not, I guess people can go ahead and PM me their email, if they wish to collaborate.. (if I don't already have your email)
