My first world map

[FAHall]

Hey Tear,

I know you're busy and getting ready for a trip, but would it be possible to get the textures and colors (color palette or something) that you use?

I'm colorblind, so I have a hell of a time trying to match or create colors on my own (even with the eye-dropper tool). Maybe, if GIMP and PS can't share a color palette, a list of the HTML codes for the colors and what you use them for?

Also, how do you get the water along your coastlines to have that "foamy" look. Sorry I don't have a better term for it.

Oh, and in your tutorial, I would love to see your method for converting the physical map to a political one.

I know I'm asking alot of you, and I totally understand if you don't have the time to answer my questions.


Thanks a bunch,
Alex

I was able to put out something before taking off, so I hope that answers most of your questions.

The tutorial thread is here.

Advice for conversion to the politcal map will have to wait, sorry.

I don't know if anyone around here is interested in experiments like this, but since most of the fundamental layer masks of this map have been painted by hand, I was wondering how it would look like with some real-world data.

So, just for fun, I stuffed some real-world data into most of the layer masks of the file. The remaining layers were set to invisible.

I don't know about the accuracy of the data... I just downloaded some files and threw them into the various layer masks I already had. Just to see how it would turn out.

Of course this map serves no purpose at all. It's born out of mere curiosity, nothing more.

Here is what I got:

I would say kick-butt as usual, bro. Very cool.
