Everyone,
I found the old sea dog on a hard drive I nearly wiped.

It's been years between looking at it. Sure, the coasts could be tidied. The mountains and biomes improved. Clouds are completely removed. They didn't work. Overall, I think I could do better if I start over. It's just a huge series of raster layers using now-ancient versions of photoshop.
I'll get around to posting the PSB file (Photoshop format, which is compatible with Affinity Photo too).

Great work
Hello man! This is old, but your toril map make me decide to enter the guild! Thank you. I am running a D&D campaign, and for the first time I am using the Forgotten Realms. Your work is very usefull to me.
i once hoped i could use your map to create a MineCraft world, but i gave up on it.
I lost the original file. The good news: modern tools are so much better. I'm going to focus on a 3rd edition style map then get into other styles thereafter (satellite-esque, aged, etc.)

There are dozens of us! Dozens!!
As someone who stumbled onto this post after weeks of pouring over published maps, trying to understand Toril from a geographic/geologic/environmental perspective, you are the MAN, man!! I gotta ask, way back at the beginning of the project what sources did you rely on for making a heightmap of the continents? I resorted to making inferrences from known points of elevation and using rivers + biomes to fill in the blanks but gave up after realizing how much guesswork it was.Originally Posted by darren_kitlor

Back when I tried doing heightmaps, it was essentially tiling textures with topographic elevation "stamps" to give it the illusion of depth.
Making progress in the 3e style and hope to have one in a more muted, diablo-esque style.
