[Award Winner] Simple Mountains in Gimp

[enazel]

Thanks for this method, been struggling with the mountains for my regional maps using your tutorial and this just worked first time and looked 100 times better.

Thanks man. This is working great though I can't them really to 'pop' They look more like large hills for some reason.

You're probably basing the bump map on the noise overlay layer. Set it to multiply, 'duplicate visible', then bump map that one (sinusoidal, and be fairly aggressive with the depth). Apply this bump map on top of the one you have, you should see the pop you're looking for.

My tutorial ("Yet Another Mountain Tutorial Using GIMP") shows how I do it.
