My map ; WIP

[DanChops]

Ok, I applied a 3px blur.
Then, I looked for any other amelioration, but I did not find. It is out of my skills ^^
Does someone have an idea ?

The cliff faces look great. The blur really helped the look a lot.

That's better, but I would still play with the original layer and try to get the hard lines a bit more irregular. I included a screen cap. See how the lines are all straight? You would not have to do much, but a bit of randomization on the lines "down" your cliff face would help a lot. You don't need a ton, just a few squigles a pixel or two off the baseline, and it does not need to be every line (ie, there can be some straight ones.) Again, just my two cents.

I'll echo what Joe said. If you can get the vertical lines a bit less straight, I think you'll have a pretty sweet cliff face there.

Lookin' good Elvith.

Try a texture like this for your cliff:
cliff.jpg

(I just made it up...)

Paint a hard line at the top of the cliff face.
Select the cliff face area.
Enlarge the selection to include the stroke.
Filter->Noise->Slur, and repeat it a few times with different amounts. This randomly pulls down pixels through the cliff face selection.
Do a motion blur at 270degrees (straight down), setting the length of the blur to the size of the cliff.
Add a layer, fill the selection 50% grey.
Bump map the solid layer, using the streaky blurred one as the source, set layer to 50% opacity.
Duplicate layer, set to overlay, 100%

Here are the three layers I have, l-r: blurred slurs, 40% normal, 100% overlay:

Yup, it's official. Rob's a freaking GIMP wizard.

This looks tons better(not that the other one was bad), and a lot more natural and blended.

Seeing Foreign Maps is really cool, I know I have really never thought about the Geek Scene outside of English-Speakers and The Japanese, Very cool man

[RobA]

No Probs!

Most of the things I end up with in the GIMP are through trial and error. And a lot of just goofing around. The cliffs turned out better than I expected....just glad for the "undo" palette that let me go back and see how I had done it

Exactly what I was going to say.

I think we are nearly finished.

So, does anybody else want I change something ? (I'm not sure of this sentence ... ^^)
