blade2k5's Real World+Fantasy Maps

Great Maps!!!

[bat]

The new maps there are looking wonderful, blade2k5! Great new work.

[blade2k5]

Vester - I have the DEM data for Göteborg converted to greyscale, but cannot get the two rivers to show up.  If I lower the elevation then most of the area is underwater which won't work ...Here's a terraformer overview image....


Anyways, I think you're going to have to either draw the river in with Terraformer, or plop them in.  Also, is this a good size or would you like a larger map of the area?

Casper - Here's an overview of of the Brussels area, will this be ok?  And how is the size?  Too big, just right?

[Pat]

Troy I think we've found a great CML for you here, "Mapper Makus Guru"    Looking real sweet!!!!

It looks nice, blade2k5; If every white tile means a large tile, it's a tad large tho
(more info follows...)

[blade2k5]

Casper, ok, they are large tiles, but to make it a smaller region, I'll have to zoom in one more time when converting the data and you'll get a smaller portion of the area pictured.

Ok, here's the 4th version of Portland and the final.  This time around it's a smaller section of Portland with a narrower river.

[blade2k5]

And the Portland Oregon map is complete   It's accurately scaled except for the eastern part of the river.  I had to draw it in because the riverbed was the same elevation as the current shoreline.  All that's needed for upload is a readme and then it'll be packaged up.


@ Tarkus:  Just converted new DEM data for 2 Bend Oregon maps.....one is 8x11 lrg tiles and the 2nd is 8x9 lrg tiles in size.  Have to do the elevation compression with sc4tf yet and then I'll be able to post some pics for ya

@ bakerton: I also got the data for the Racine-Kenosha area of Wis and that one will be a 5x6 lrg tile map   Hope the size is ok, Wis is a tough state to map.....the elevations are tricky to get right. I still have to do the elevation compression with sc4tf yet, but after that, I'll post an overview pic if it works out.

Completed Maps/Ready 4 Upload [maps listed in italics are small enough for 2-paks.]

1. Gary Indiana
2. Mt. Jefferson Oregon
3. Mt. Whitney Ca.
4. Morro Bay Ca.
5. Portland Oregon

Be back soon with more updates.

[Tarkus]

Troy, that Portland map looks fantastic there (as do all the others ), and many, many thanks for working on those Bend maps--I'm really looking forward seeing them!

[blade2k5]

Well, wait no longer   Here's the SC4TF Overview of Bend #1....


And here is Bend #2......


And here is the Racine-Kenosha area along Lake Michigan in Wisconsin......

[Pat]

  great job Troy!!!

[blade2k5]

Another update [number 3 for the day I thinks now ], rendered pic of the Racine/Kenosha region, and a new smaller Brussels map overview and rendered images.

Racine-Kenosha Wisconsin....This one looks flat, but there are subtle elevation variations...


Brussels overview


Brussels regional view

[CasperVg]

Oh whew Blade2k5, Brussels looks really awesome now! Those slight depressions look awesome for putting plopped rivers in! The Racine-Kenosha area looks wonderful aswell, so do the other ones!

[blade2k5]

So the smaller Brussels map works for you?  If so, then I'll package it up and get it ready for upload

WOW
You have turned into a Map making machine my friend.  Great work on the maps.  We can never have enough RL accurate maps.

You can also make European maps unfortunately, I come to the page you use is not clear.

[bat]

Another wonderful set of maps there, blade2k5!!!

[CasperVg]

Yeah, it looks great, blade2k5.
I just tried creating such maps like you are creating myself, but it came out very scary. So, more and more respect to you!
(perhaps I should've read the last paragraphs of the tutorial...  )

You get a Karma point for your simply awesome maps.

Noticed you uploaded Adelaide on the STEX.

For boring Australian cities, it'd be nice to see, say, either Brisbane or Canberra made.

There's a lot more coming yet

Thanks for dropping by shenti   I'm not really sure what you meant by "I come to the page you use is not clear."  But yes, there will be more maps of Europe in the very near furture

Another wonderful set of maps there, blade2k5!!!

Thanks bat   I just finished another last night of San Antonio TX at the request of Heblem   Will be posting pics later on in the day.

Yeah, it looks great, blade2k5.  I just tried creating such maps like you are creating myself, but it came out very scary. So, more and more respect to you!  (perhaps I should've read the last paragraphs of the tutorial...  )

Ok, cool.  I'll get Brussels packaged up and get it uploaded for you later on this afternoon [I'm on call for work until 5pm CST today, so I'll be in and out all afternoon ]  If you need some assistance with your map-making, let me know, I can help you out with that

You get a Karma point for your simply awesome maps.    _{Just dont tell Travis.} 

JP!!!!  How's it going buddy?  Real glad to see that you stopped in and checked out my new Real World Maps.  As for not telling you-know-who, I think he'll notice it right away   I did before I read the PM jeronij sent me a few nights ago   You have any places around the world you'd like to see mapped?  Toronto perhaps?

Noticed you uploaded Adelaide on the STEX.  For boring Australian cities, it'd be nice to see, say, either Brisbane or Canberra made.

Yeah, meant to upload Adelaide to the STEX the day it was uploaded to the LEX, but got called into work and by the time I got back home, had forgotten about it until yesterday.  Anyways, Brisbane and Melbourne + Sydney Perth...in fact the whole darn continent of Australia will be mapped   Oh, where exactly is Ayers Rock located?

Thanks to all for the support and feedback, it's appreciated
