Terrain test for the World Of UBORA
HI
Just a test for Terrain. I'm looking for large scale mountains for continental topography. Don't mind the color this is for the shape and texture. I used photoshop and a tablet with a map of Spain for reference.
To get the texture I used the tablet and pen and tried a pointillism style by tapping the pen on the tablet around the drawn in forms.
Comments, Questions or just random praise is accepted

If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Thanks! But don't worry about the coast its just a mountain test.Originally Posted by Ascension
I agree with Ascension, but since you said it's more about the mountains, it's all good.

Ok Second Test. Better coast but not close to finished. This mountain test came out a bit better. I like the look but not the shading. Gona need to test a few colors to find one that fits. Once I find that and forrests, Grass and all the other details I can start on the main maps.
I like this, it has a very satellite-atlas type feel to it.
I think that the terrain has a good natural feel to it. I can't wait till I see some more!
Thanks! Yes I was going for the Atlas style look. Once I get the physical features right I will build them into a collection of maps like HandsomRob did.
OK Question for those who can help me.
The world of UBORA is generated in FTPro. I just save the coast and do the land forms by hand. So, as all who use FTPro know, it has a bug in it that crashes the program when you try to save with a grid.
I make maps from it using the Lambert Equal Area as it represents the area I'm mapping nicely with little distortion. But I need the Long and Lat lines.
Any ideas on how I can make them? I use Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2. I also have Gimp and can get Inkscape in a pinch if that is easier.
Send ProFantasy's tech support an e-mail with this problem. They should be able to point you at a beta version that does not have this problem.
If you're not after a super high resolution version then taking a screenshot might be a short-term solution (Alt+PrintScreen saves the current window to the clipboard where you can paste it to other programs).
