Thanks for such a welcome, a freindly and cheerful community indeed!

The software I use are Corel apps like PhotoPaint, Painter and CorelDraw and Bryce 5.5 and 6.

The terrain is made and rendered using Bryce, but the textures are made using PhotoPaint (it has a great function to render fills). The rendered pics from Bryce are then put together and edited in PhotoPaint and Painter.

The final map are made in CorelDraw along with all the symbols, heraldry etc.
I work in 600dpi in the whole process to be able to make hi quality prints.

My plan is to make the whole Flaness this way, which will take 3 years or so. I'm also working on city, dungeon maps and terrain renderings of Greyhawk.

Thanks again for your interest

Anna
