Definitely a great improvement! Kudos for sticking with it all the way to the end, I know getting a satisfying tectonic layout can be a huge pain.
Great work and looking forward to seeing more .
Thanks Charerg! Definitely wouldn't have been able to get here without all the help I've gotten from you and others on here, so kudos back
It's only a relatively small perturbation from the last round, but while I still have ambition I've tweaked the currents / pressures to account for the modified landmasses.
Currents:
Pressures (Jan / July):
I always find island topography particularly hard, but that's an artefact of my need to keep a constant zoom level to avoid very disparate amounts of detail. What you've got here looks very nice though!
Oh i am loving this kind of detailing, always wanted to focus on a tectonically accurate map myself and you are doing such a stunning work
excited to see more once you have another update!
Bra-vo. Seriously amazing work. Those have got to be the most naturalistic mountains I've seen come out of Wilbur (with a very large amount of handcrafted work lending to that result, I'm sure). You've got to do a write up on your process at some point.
If I had one nitpick, I guess it's the the river valleys in the lowlands are pretty uniform and narrow and seem to almost represent canyons based on the contours. But again, that's a very minor nitpick.
Thanks morne! The mountains definitely benefit from some really nice brushes, so Wilbur and I can't take all the credit The process is actually nothing particularly special and is mostly a collection of various techniques I've learned on here. If you're interested though I could detail it.
Regarding the river valleys, you're absolutely right. The final river incise step is probably a bit too strong, though if I draw in the rivers in blue it does an ok job of covering that up and allows me to be lazy and not have to experiment with different processes.
EDIT: Thanks for the rep! Just noticed that notification
