Hello hill makers!
I’m currently working on a custom hill in Deluxe Ski Jump 4 as part of a school project, and I’d really appreciate some help from more experienced hill builders here.
The hill is still a work in progress, so changes to structure and visuals are completely fine.
The base geometry, profiles, and most structures are already in place, but I feel the hill still lacks that professional, finished look that official or top-tier community hills have. I’m mainly looking for help with:
improving realism and proportions
refining supports, stairs, railings, and details
better visual consistency (materials, colors, placement)
overall polish rather than a full rebuild
Would anyone be willing to make suggestions or directly edit the hill to make it look more professional?
I’m very open to feedback and learning from the changes.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to help!
(I only accept serious applications, so please, be serious about it!)
