January 2018 Challenge: unnamed ( WIP )

[johnvanvliet]

right now just playing around

base shape i drew
land1.png

right now the remapping is a bit off , covering too big of an area ( the lat/long lines are every 2 degrees )
i think i will use 0.5 degrees and rewarp the projection and relocate it from
right now it is about where Greece is

  ProjectionName  = Orthographic
 CenterLatitude  = 39.4 <degrees>
 CenterLongitude = 23.05 <degrees>

i should have time to work on this ? maybe

Quite cool. I think you're the only one to have a land a little similar to mine.

i noticed just now a slight mis alignment from blender and GRASS ( the rivers )
just about an hour of work so far needs to be redone

the base texture is done using blender nodes , then gimp to edit it

the silt sea still needs work , it is a brackish marsh

[johnvanvliet]

fixed the bad alignment and the coloring ( mostly ) ,so on to the label layer

-- the default label png provided used as a overlay for now

Ummm... You seem to have forgotten the ### Latest WIP ### tag.

I'm surprised one of the more chatty members hasn't mentioned it already.

(I normally just sit in the corner and watch.)
