Hi There!

I found this site about a month ago via a link from the Wilbur website. I joined right away, but am only now getting around to introducing myself.

The maps I make are specifically meant to map onto 3D planets, mostly for use in still images and animations for planetarium shows. I use Wilbur and GIMP for the maps, then Blender for 3D work, and then GIMP again if I'm working with still images.

So many of the maps you folks have made are absolutely breathtaking. What inspiration and food for the imagination!

While most of the mapping here is very different from what I make, I've already been able to incorporate some of the techniques into my own efforts.

That's really why I wanted to introduce myself. To say "Thanks!" for the inspiration and the sharing of techniques.
