Better late tha never...

@AaronSchmidt This is animateable most certainly but I have not looked into it. Some future project perhaps. Getting the occlusion right was a pita. Is it easier than handdrawn? Depends on your artistic ability. I´ve got to say that a good handdrwan map always will look more authentic. And it is way cheaper . For me it´s the combination of curisity regarding 3D techniques, love of maps and the luxury of not being damned to achieve something sellable. I can wander where I like.

@jplet öhm, I designed those mountains on a whim. But as the handdrawn lines depend on the underlying DEM I would say it´s possible. But recreating correct DEM´s out of nothing is extremly time consuming and, in my opinion, not the way to go for large scale continent maps. If you got a solution let me know...
