    Default Carnifex's Workshop

    Here I will post some general mapping tests. Illustrator and Photoshop mostly.

    Comments welcome!

    Note: I have very poor eye sight so i have problems writing and make loads of spelling mistakes - also on the maps I am afraid


    Starting with a test map in PS... only stuff textures and brushes that comes in PS. And only layer styles (practically no drawing except for the rivers).

    The sea looks nice but the mountains are a bit blurry. Not sure if that's a compression problem with the uploaded file.

    The blurryness is a problem I am trying to solve (don't know how yet).

    Those mountains are awesome. Would you mind to share your method each time you post new "experiments"?

    Another mountain test. Fine adjusting. This is not using wilbur... only photoshop. A special brush and layer style.

    Comments welcome! There is always room for improvement!

    How do you make mountains like this? I've always wondered how people make such realistic looking terrain like that.

    Looks awesome!!

    Most people make a height map somehow and import it to photoshop. I use layer styles, textures and custom brushes. Look in the tutorial section for various techniques.

    These are very interesting. What is the brush style you are using?
