    Hee hee! I will have to warn you, this becomes a sort of lifestyle. Don't burn yourself out! A little bit each day is pleasure, fall in love with your design first. If you don't, you'll end up hating your work and you'll burn out, like I did for a while. Take notes, or else you'll forget your design, if you want something as complex as this project. Happy worldcrafting!

    So I'm needing a little help with the scan data. Does anyone know how to take the raster data and turn it into a flat equirectangular projection? I'm using adobe illustrator, I can use a raster based program too, if there is a tool for it. The current data I have is all over the place and looks like this photo. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I found a workaround John, thanks for offering!

    Here is a look at the digitized work so far. Cleaning up the texture at the moment, then going to have some fun with everything else!

    seeing as i am about to go to bed ( 130 AM EST -- UT -4 )

    this looks to be a cube mapped polar projection , likely from an odd UV unwrap with the north pole in the center


    if so

    give me some time tomorrow to remap it

    well i am assuming this is a cube map of the north ( 45 north to 90 north )
    to get it to an equal area simple cylindrical
    i can use mmps comandline tool
    Code:
    project gnomonic -i -scale 2 -lat  90 -long 0 -w 1024 -h 512   -f  crop.ppm > NorthTest.ppm
    NorthTest.png

    hugins panotools can also remap it but with more commands and complexity to install

    create 5 1024x1024 gray images ( i used a graphed image )
    rename your image to 4 and convert them all ppm's or tif's

    Code:
    cubic2erect  1.tif 2.tif 3.tif 4.tif 5.tif 6.tif output.tif
    PS there is a GUI in the hugin tool set to do this
    output.png


    from this gimp can remap to polar stereographic
