Folder for Cartography Pledgers

2017-10-30

Created a Dropbox folder with all the World Machine Files and a 4K PSD file with all the layers so you can see how it is set up. Texture and Shadow files can be found in the Advanced Patron Content Folder.

Here is the first of the Advanced Patreon Content, Elevation Map in 4K. I only made this in 4K, if anyone wants it in higher resolution please tell me and I'll make it!

You can download the Advanced Content here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3d5ap4m5bjgzvso/AAD34teVSDxMPDWGCHJE8oXya?dl=0

More content will be added soon. 

Errors

2017-10-29

Got a bit carried away wanting to release things as quick as possible which meant there are a few errors crept in. I'll fix them this evening and updated images will be available in a few hours. Sorry for that. 

Isometric Test

2017-10-28

Here is a first isometric test using 3D Map Generator. I'm not overly impressed with the result, but it was a first test and a very difficult terrain.  

With some tweaking and more normal terrain this might be a useful map style. If it possible to stitch them together well I can see something really useful for continent size maps!  

Experimentation will continue and future projects will be yield better results I'm sure.

Crater Final Maps

Here is the link to the Final Crater maps.

Only top down maps there right now, more will be added later today and in then next few days. The top down map is available in three different resolutions from 4000 pixels to 16000 pixels, and in the two most popular texture variations.

I've also corrected the shadows, thank you gain Thorfinn for alerting me! 

Crater Presentation

2017-10-27

The inaugural project is done, here is a first look at it!

All these images and more will be available to all Patreons in full resolution before the end of the week. Higher Level Patreons will receive additional material as well.

Next week there I will post my my evaluation of the first project, and what I need to improve for the future. I will also announce so additional projects as well.

Thank you all for your support!

How to Build a World: Texturing

2017-10-24

Time to create the final texture and the top down view.

You can get the Photoshop file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2n8frcbjiuq079v/Crater%20Top%20Down%204K.psd?dl=0

This is a reduces resolution (4096 pixels) file, the final map are 16 000 pixels, but due to size I have to share a smaller file. Everything works the same and if you want the full size images use the WM files to render them at 8K or 16K resolution.

Lets have a closer look at the layer structure

Good luck with creating your own version of the textures!
