    Wip Abrideu an earthlike planet

    Hi all.

    I present to you an earthlike world I made:
    Abrideu !

    (the previous image is a rendering in celestia)

    Here's the map:

    I made a google earth addon and placed the borders and the names of continents and country:

    I made a video of it to see all the details (it's uploading on youtube as I'm writting)

    I chose to use google earth beacause it allows me to add more details as you zoom in. I'm not sure how far I will go into details.

    Any comments are greatly appreciated.

    It's not intended to be a desert planet, but it is intended to have more deserts than earth.

    I drew the continental shapes in photoshop. For the texturing I used some earth high res satelite pictures that I applyied to my continents depending on what I wanted it to look like (I have a big 8000*8000 file that I use for texturing earthlike planets).
    Then I placed the map in google earth and drew the borders on it and attribuated names.

    RobA wrote a tutorial on how to put a map into Google Earth about 5 years ago. I don't have a link at the moment but it's here in The Guild somewhere. It might not be in a tutorial but in the WIP thread for a map of his.

    I add more detail to the map, now the image is 16384 * 8192 while it used to be 2048 * 1024. So you can zoom in closer in google earth
