Reply With QuoteI forget who, but a relatively new guy (the past 8 months or so) uses a method similar to those middle ones in creating his terrain. Has a tut as well. Whereas I use about 20 difference clouds he uses the radial gradient set to difference.
funky photoshop effects
I found an online tutorial about a quick way of making curtains in PS. Basically use the default Graduated fill tool, set it to 'linear' and 'difference', and draw short horizontal lines across the canvas. You can get some really funky effects with this using the radial option and then then vivid light .... just playing with all the settings, but start with the setting on 'difference'. I couldn't make anything 'mappy' out of it though (the third image almost looks like some sort of damasked material), although someone may have more luck!

If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Its a common technique to make a "satin" effect.
Its the same process I used in my token script: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...2383#post52383

lol, oh dang, and there I was thinking I'd discovered something new like Alexander Flemming!
With some playing around, two and three can be combined to make a decent height map for mountains. I took image two and applied a displacement with 3 as source(and a bit of blur) and it made a fairly decent height map for mountains...
