Atlas Style Mountains in GIMP

[jturner]

PapersAndPaychecks, you're right. One of the characters from Dungeon Master, which I recently rediscovered. I wasted my week off work designing new dungeons for it, and was unable to explain to my family and colleagues, in satisfactory terms, what exactly I was doing. Both sides experienced a sensation of alienation. I think I might be a geek.

I know what you mean about placing mountains with Ascension's/Gidde's method. I tried cutting and pasting, but the result so far has been a bit blehhh. I'll try the Eriond tutorial. Thanks for the tip.

Careful with that thing. When I was recovering from surgery in 2009, I made a small (cough) RTC dungeon... then I decided I wanted finer control over the monster AI and some special effects that RTC can't do, so I moved on to DSB. Which is similar, but scriptable. You can lose days and days in that stuff.

Yeah, it's good. The magic is in the process of smoothing out the land clouds once you've pasted them----which is really time-consuming. I'm halfway through my effort at that.
