Loading "drop" maps
« on: January 10, 2011, 08:59:20 PM »
I'm making basically "planets" and am putting in space-views (as seen from orbit) for the MWLL maps.

I have just completed one for Death Valley, I hope I got the right planet impression...

DEATH VALLEY: ORBIT

DEATH VALLEY: DROPPING

ehhh. looks a bit too uniform, Planets don't really look the same all over.  Vary it up with wide flat areas, canyons, rivers and lakes if there is water, foliage if its habitable, icecaps if the whole place isn't boiling, different colors, etc etc.

You won't just see mountain mountain mountain mountain mountain all over.

Also, when that much curvature is evident in an image of a planet, unless its the size of pluto, or every mountain there is trying to outdo Olympus Mons, you won't see the horizon be all craggley

thanks for the feedback!
I know that planets usually don't look like that, but... yeah. I can make mostly maps with procedural terrain with "hotspots", can someone link to planet description of somewhere (sarna?)?
