The Vale - WIP

How big is your file : 10 426px x 7 802px ? That's not so bad, but with 1.5 GB you must have a lot of layers! If you continue like this you will hit a wall. You should try reducing the nuber of layers or deleting/merge unnecessary overlaping layers. You could also try having multiple files containing differents layer and only merge them for the final version. That way you don't have to endure to work with a massive 1.5 GB file, where just using the pencil makes the computer lag.

Just saying because you map is very detailed and is looking good but you need to keep an eye on it's size.

Yeah that's the size but there's not that many layers. Although... I just deleted all the contour layers and reduced it to 1.3 GB...

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, but what is Wilbur? I struggle to draw these realistic topo maps by hand and if there's a tool it would be great to know more. :-)

Wilbur is a little toy that's been undergoing on and off development for almost 20 years now. software is its home. It's the direct ancestor of ProFantasy's Fractal Terrains product ( Fractal Terrains 3 world generation software - get your copy today ). Wilbur can do many things, including importing lots of terrain types, creating random terrain, erosion of terrain, rendering of the terrain (including contour lines), and lots of other things.

A search for Wilbur here should have yielded many, many threads. The Eriond one is probably the most popular one, though.

I searched here in the forum and found this:

Thanks. Does Fractal Terrains do the same/different/more/less?
