I agree, very nice. Don't take this the wrong way but I'd throw out the swamps and forests...don't really need them. The mountains still need some work but I don't know enough about Gimp to help ya.

Those rivers are stupid awesome, how'd you go about putting those together?

Come to think of it, that may in part explain my trouble with mountains - we don't have any mountains here in Denmark either!Originally Posted by Immolate
Yeah, the swamp blotch isn't really working... maybe use symbols?
and I guess the trees are way too big compared to the mountains and all, even tough they're just representations. I wasn't too happy with the first kind of forest I got (the first two iterations), so I figured I'd at least try this out. I do want to show the forest being there somehow... Ah well, all in the name of learning
Umm, yeah. Wilbur helped me with those. Pretty much just followed the first tutorial for Wilbur, and fiddled with the values until I got something I liked. Then saved to a bump map png imported as layer in Gimp, inverted and thresholded it so only the rivers were visible. Then I added that to my water layer mask, made a selection from the mask and stroked the selection with a single pixel in a new transparent layer and adjusted opacity so it wasn't too hard on the eye.
Could you show us a version without trees and mtns? I'd like to see the basic terrain, it looks pretty nice.
