New Scifi Style Test Map (3d generated terrain)

[Wired]

Hey, I've started playing around with a new (paid) plugin for Photoshop that helps generate 3d terrains based on height maps and terrain textures. I believe it has some potential, especially for scifi elements, but possibly fantasy maps in the future as well. This is my first WIP of my first try.

interesting, is it a basic render or did you rework the result with photoshop?

This was all done in Photoshop. The terrain is based on a heightmap generated through Photoshop's Cloud render filter, the texture is a martian-like color scheme. The plugin combines the two into the terrain shown in the image. The grid and the full planet were then added by hand.

I knew I hadn't commented this one. Your habit of trying new tools always amazes me and you achieve great results with them. I cannot wait to see a bigger map done that way !
