    I spent many time with g.plates. Now I understand that here can be 2 t. plates, mb 3, not more,(how it said Charerg). I need back in tectonic and remade it, because I feel not that I understand my relief very good and it stoped me to make DEM.
    1. I whant save my map size, mb make it ~5000-5000 or 7000-7000 km.
    2. I whant save basic relief idea. Tanat mountains(big middle mountain chain). and basic view of coastline with corrections.
    3. If I continue use 4000-4000 km and 2 t. plates, it meen that I need redraw north. I don`t belive that north plate have so small land. Mb islands? Or something conection like Kamchatka - Alaska? I think this is the better choise.
    4. I don`t whant detailed enother continents, but i feel, that witout it I don`t understand how make Kronos.
    5. My experement with tiles looks good like for me. Who find 2 dragons on map?)))) But I need redraw DEM, because it looks unrealistic.
    6. Scale size. I need choose zoom. I whant see all houses, rivers, towers and ect Mb 500 m?
    7. example of chunk

    Small test with half-auto-texture blending on black-white height map in photoshop. Where gray=grass, dark gray=sand, light gray = forest, white = rock and snow. And I can cotrol it in real time. With this I can fast texturing my map, because in last I do it all by my hand with brushes.
    Did anybody know how make drop shadows in photoshop?. I used 3d pluh in photoshop, but it made artifacts. Mb u know easy technicqe with lighting effects?
    My shadows are very lockal. I whant massife shadow of full mountain range. (some time I just draw big black blumb for imitate it, but it look unrealistic)I don`t feel deeps and haven`t feeling that I rise up on the mountain when look at coastline on south and mountains on the north of my map.

    Your last height map version reminded me of a video I watched recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwiNhnFPUnw . Have a look

    The map looks great! How are you finding Pixie's style (to work with I mean, I know it looks amaxing )? I tried doing all the elevation layers manually myself at one point, but after a while decided it was too much work (especially if you change something afterwards, then you have to redraw everything) and settled on working with greyscale instead.
