    The generation of the height map, the 3D projection and the shading (lighting + ambient occlusion) was done in Wilbur. The colors, text, and other finishing were done in Photoshop.

    Looking great so far! Every time I see something you produced in Wilbur, I'm inspired to try my hand at it again.

    Speaking for myself and I am sure for others;Wilbur can be a REAL mouthful to chew on ! For myself I am very interested on the steps you took to transform that cloud pict. Some time in the future IF time permits could you post a step by step tutorial on just what you did to get the terrain from this cloud pict. For me that would be a narrower portion to chew on ! PLEASE !!

    The technique is the same as shown in Ink Blots to islands using Wilbur.pdf except that you just load the cloud image rather than using coast and mountain masks. You can mask a coast mask from the cloud image directly in Wilbur by using Select>>From Terrain>>Height Range and then saving the selection.
