WIP using RobA's GIMP Tutorial

[Karro]

Where's the tutorial to make forests like in this map?

I followed the process detailed by DanChops starting in post 18 of this thread.

(It's a variant on RobA's original regional map tutorial that involves a few more layers for the forests and uses plasma clouds with a b/w gradient instead of solid noise clouds.)

I'm gonna have to download gimp to make these solid noise and plasma things. ;_;

Same here Nym, I'm also looking into the way it does tubes, or whatever they're called, so I can get more randomness into my building's shapes.

I decided to try out RobA's other Mountain Tutorial

Can anyone point me to this tutorial. I like the ridge look on the mountains it seems to produce & i'm way to nooby to find out how to do that myself. Got to the mountains section of RobA's tut for a map of europe, awesome tut so far.

cheers

On a side note, the solid nose rendering is one domain where GIMP really kicks PS imho

Here you go Badger: http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=1142

This is to make the over all map. This one is the technique Karro used to make the mountains specifically:

And here are a few variations on the mountain technique in practice, one by RobA himself: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...60&postcount=4
