Map 06 - The Lands of Icewind

[Ozdarchangel]

Ozdarchangel that looks like the right workflow, but I suggest you check the Eriond tutorial Arsheesh made and obliquely linked to, it is really good and useful and you'll learn a lot by doing it. I did.

Thanks mate. I've read through that excellent tutorial thoroughly and started following it. Even installed GIMP just because the Difference Clouds are far more configurable than in PS (which is what I've always used). However, before I start the slow process of copying chunks of Clouds and blending them into the height map for the mountain ranges, I wanted to check if Arsheesh had replaced that part of the process with simply hand-painting the GIMP height map - I'd far prefer hand painting, gives me more control over the terrain structures (and key river placement)
