Photorealistic Ocean in Gimp
I made this today. I just wanted to share it.
I made it with 100% gimp filters and no painting. It would take very little time if you don't have to do any experimentation; my experimenting actually took me a great deal of time. I could write down the process if anyone is interested. If anyone has any criticism I would like to hear that as well.
Some useful cartography facts:
Circumference (C) of the Earth is about 25,000 miles or 40,000 km.
Highest point on Earth is 5.5 miles (8.9 km) above sea level (ASL/BSL).
Lowest point of land on Earth is 1/4 mile (0.4 km) BSL.
Lowest elevation in the ocean is 6.8 miles (10.9 km) BSL.
And our solar system:
C of Jupiter = 279,118 miles (449,197 km).
Highest mountain is Olympus Mons on Mars. It is 16 miles high (24 km) and is the size of Arizona.
