WIP: Mystic Isles
So after a year off from mapping, here we go again.
This is a smallish map of the region I;ve done in previous projects. The style of the map itself is blatantly taken from Pasis' excellent tutorial. (THANKS!)
It's enclosed in a flash movie because I thought it would be cool to show a map of "magical tides" in this world. So I am messing around with the Flint particle system in flash to try my hand at an interactive map.
Right now, the only interactivity is based on mouse movement. The strength of flow in certain directions is based on the x/y coordinates of the mouse within the movie. Play with it.
My goal is to eventually embed the map into something like a virtual armillary sphere. The animated particles will respond to the locations of planets relatvie to each other. I have no idea whether this will work or not, but it's fun to try.
