Couldn't sleep. Gotta do this...


...I don't get it. I tried again making a map at 500x500 px so just about everything would be the same as Rob's. I get to the same step.

Now we will turn the B/W into colour, by clicking Color->Map->Gradient Map, and the water is almost (for now).
Okay. Looks good...

Repeat this, flipping the signs, so set X to -20 and Y to 20. This screen grab is after the first one.
But, the screen grab is white. I can't figure out why. Mine is all blue and so is the screen grabs in the tut up until that point.



Here's what mine looks like: http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/a...URPS/again.jpg

It's blue and there's no shore line. I just can't figure it out. Probably because I'm super sleepy.

Now that the ocean is completed, the land can be build up. Create a cop of the “Sea Shape” layer and name it “Grass”. Create a layer mask using the “Land Mask”channel. Click on the layer icon so we now edit the layer, not the mask.
I copied the Sea Shape layer like the tut says, then moved it up to the top of the layers because Rob's is.

Mine looks okay so far, not quite as good. If I could figure out what I'm doing wrong on the Seashore layer, it would look much closer to Rob's. Here's a screen shot: http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/a...S/seashore.jpg

Post 9:Finishing the Land.

After the bump map we now have this. You can adjust the opacity of the bump map to make it less noticeable if desired:
I pretty well do, again, except for the coast: http://i852.photobucket.com/albums/a...ttingthere.jpg

I'm going to keep at this...
