didn't see that post. I guess Fun with wilbur wasn't attracting enough for me to look at hahahahaha thanks again for your time.
Finding good names for things has never been one of my strong areas. For almost 20 years my family had a cat that we called "Cat". My poor naming skills are especially amusing in light of the fact that I'm a professional software developer by trade and much of what I do is make names for things...
also a programmer. but it'.s not the same. usually when we program it's in a particular environment and variable names most often speak what we want them to do. although a tutorial. lolol
just a quick color transfer to a Emboss of a height map
2048 x 1160

back in 2000 i moved from the photographic darkroom ( yes film ) to digitalOriginally Posted by Michel Beaulieu
I'm still having trouble and you guys pump it out like nothing.
( but i was using a computer in the darkroom back in 1989 )
so for the last 15+ years i have been working with 16 bit and 32 bit scientific data
( msb 16 bit is a pain in the rear with out a PPC CPU computer )
then in 2001 i found a Space Simulator and started making planet maps
so do not feel bad it dose take time
after over a decade of working with imaging data from USA and EU spacecraft , some things just get easy
the link a few posts up has a few PDF's on using wilbur
i really only use wilbur for adding rain erosion to height maps
it is easier than using the FORTAN 90 code i was using
For making the heightmap i used your image as a guide
Made masks using the fuzzy select and growing the area ,then fuzzing the selected area and bucket filled with black or white
( you can still see some of the lines that are in the original )
made a TALL mountain data set
a lower mountain data
then a plains level plasma noise data
all from the input image
then tapered the coastline with a darkening mask ( so the coasts are near sea-level )
so a mix of three inputs and some masks and a lot of eroding

I'll try it out. something tells me I'll screw it up also haha
See http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...317#post290317 for some more information.
OK, I managed to recreate my original map. (pen and paper) from 30 years ago for you guys. The uploaded version is 25% the real size. Before someone says it, how did that become a rectangular map? lol I'm guessing I was a limitation by the application used at the time of not, can't remember. I think I'll redo my land mass template from this one ect...

Sometimes I can't help myself. I tried the V2 shader in Wilbur, and this is what popped out (after the usual shading and some piddling about with Photoshop):
One thing I left out in the most recent Wilbur tutorial-type thing was the used of Filter>>Morphological>>Erode as a near-final step. It will reduce the amount of fine-detail noise and give a more chiseled appearance.
