World Map

[Lotus Wolf]

well since i can't make campaigns, due to dialogue problems on windowz, i make other assets.
Lately, i've moved away from modeling, because i'm waiting on 3DSMax (i'll write a tutorial for lugaru models for it), and have been exploring texturing. I thought i'd share this one with you guys, since it's pretty good IMO.
First, i made a freehand sketch of the map.

Then i scanned it onto my PC, then used GIMP to sharpen and darken the lines, then filled in the colors, then created the bump map, then blurred it slightly, then made the border.

[Count Roland]

I don't believe we are. How are you and your GF, if i may ask?

[Count Roland]

hahahah well she got jealous because I let her friend have some of my food. so she's kind of not talking to me right now. that explains the bitterness of the last post huh? but still kind of illogical to me.

[Lotus Wolf]

well i'm sorry to hear that. Gave her friend some food, so she's not talking to you... Lotus Thought. Illogical indeed... hehe, yeah, we're thankfully not like that. anyway, i hope things can clear up with that.

[Count Roland]

they're close it's been a few hours so she's cooled down enough to tell me that she loves me. but still I don't talk to our friend anymore.

[Lotus Wolf]

ah, well that's good. Funny how threads go off topic the way they often do... Lotus thinks. But it's nice to discuss the odd this-or-that now and then... anyways, like the map?

[Count Roland]

hell yes I like the map. hahahah I might have to download a copy and fool around with it in gimp too just to see what I get if you don't mind.

[Dudeman]

did I miss something?

[Glabbit]

Maybe.

[Lotus Wolf]

yeah go ahead Roland, anybody who wants to mess with it can.

Dudeman: yes you missed something. as for what that something is, don't look at me.

[Lumenshroom]

Too much blur.

[Lotus Wolf]

think so? i only blurred it by one pixel... it looked strange the way it had been, so i slightly blurred it and i thought it looked better. it wasn't a motion blur either, so you really shouldn't be able to tell.
