WIP World Map

[Yasha Oqlie]

Charerg has explained the method perfectly, just follow the steps and you'll be fine. Generally speaking, I think most people find working with the equirectangular projection as their source map easier despite the distortion (though there are ways to circumvent that), due to the fact that you are basically painting on a rectangle with a 2:1 width to height ratio. Less chance of messing something up that way.

Things are looking good so far with your map, can't wait to see where this is going

Sorry it has been a while since I last posted but my schedule picked up again last Monday and I wanted to ensure I could follow Charerg's tutorial before I posted. I have now followed it successfully so thank you for posting. I will now use this tactic to edit the northern pole. I will then post the results.

So here is an update. This image is again in the eckert IV projection and shows the type of plate boundaries and directions of movement of the plates. I have tried to base the types of boundaries off of earth's plates though I am not sure how successful I was. Feedback would be appreciated.

Also, I have not placed any hotspots yet as I want to ensure that the boundaries make sense first.
