    Default Physical map of Rheia

    My first ever finished map! And the culmination of a long process of figuring out plate tectonics and climate as well as sketching out the details of world history enough to get to toponyms. Eternally grateful to Worldbuilding Pasta tutorials for the tutorial on geological history through GPlates and to Azelor, Charerg, Pixie, and AzureWings for the climate tutorial, plus MrBragg for helping run the ExoPlaSim script. The WIP thread is here.

    I second Turambar, a work of love and details giving a splendid result. The main map is gorgeous and the surrounding maps and data are top notch!
    Kudos for your patience and attention to details & realism.

    I think most of the praise was dropped in the WIP thread, but I wanted to say how incredible this is. The level of attention to detail is astounding on all fronts. I've been out of the loop so long on here that I forget when the Atlas awards are. Regardless, I think this could use a nomination when the time comes.

    I can tell a lot of work went into this. I like the atlas style you've chosen. It looks great!
    Cartography is fun.
