Thread: Bryce and a map

That's very beautiful! Did you draw the mountain range using the Bryce tools or did you build it in another modeller and import it? I really like them.

Looks very good so far! Not a great fan of the lens effect though.

Thanks! The mountains are made entirely in photoshop. Actually I have used those mountains for ages on the map, painting them with a soft brush then adding bewel and some inner glow effect to simulate landscape --> mountain --> snow transition. But this time I converted them to 16-bit, did some minor adjustment then imported it to Bryce as a heightmap.

I've no idea how to use Bryce but the results are very pretty. I imagine you could make a wonderful interactive map from something like this.

Here is another render. This is a clean render. No photoshop at all!

I think you have a lake in the mountains to the right (east?) that climbs up the mountain sides. Is that fixable?

Hey. Yes it's just some heightmap thingie.

Looks great. Are there tutorials for this?

Here I am again - this time with a tweaked version.
