Case Study - Archipelago : Fractal Mapper 8

[Silverleaf]

I just registered on these forums, casually making maps for my own amusement. But I had to comment, that stuff is unbelievable. I saw you asking Mark how to go about doing the under-water surface look while on this forum, and an hour later I stumbled upon this tutorial. You did an outstanding job and that's pretty impressive. Congrats on your admirable work.

My humble thanks for the very kind words.

The real nuance with this tutorial happens when you subtly tweak the settings and watch the newly created object slowly fade underneath the surface. So if I can stress one point with this technique for underwater features, its to ensure your overlapping each object - since a higher setting will give you more depth. This remains one of my favorite projects because I feel it showcases what makes Fractal Mapper 8 such a powerful yet simple program to use.

Cheers,
