Will interface the cities to it and get you some things in a few days (I hope). Map looks good.<br><br>Richard<br><br><blockquote><hr>From: bchoinski@comcast.net<br>Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2007 07:09:36 -0400<br>To: pnp@abroere.xs4all.nl<br>Subject: [PnP] Korchi preliminary (mapping)<br><br>
<div>I have a preliminary map now (6459 x 10000 pixel) with the raw terrains in. Current working file is 1.41GB (my poor Mac is crying -- Photoshop under rosetta is pretty painful for this scale)</div><div><br class="EC_webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div> I had to generate the terrains completely in Photoshop (I could not get the fractal outlines I wanted from Canvas), but the technique I figured out for photoshop has me happy enough. It's more art at this point since I have to draw the terrain wiggles now, instead of letting a program do it.</div><div><br class="EC_webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>The lake render layer adds a bit of character to the terrain.</div><div><br class="EC_webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>On interesting thing is a single, very obvious mountain peak that rendered up in the mountain process. It and the mountain chain attached to it (looks like a dragon or large snake with the peak at the heart) is begging for a site. Another mountain south that drops right into hills gives me the impression of a sheer cliff thousands of feet high.</div><div><br class="EC_webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Image attached (low scale at 1200x2000 pix) It scaled well in JPEG.</div><div><br class="EC_webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Feel free to mark up a copy of this image with notes and email back with comments.</div><div></div></blockquote><br /><hr />Kick back and relax with hot games and cool activities at the Messenger Café. <a href='http://www.cafemessenger.com?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_SeptWLtagline' target='_new'>Play now!</a></body>
