Map of Uerth

Main map page for my RPG Storms of Steel.

There is an interactive Flash version also here:http://www.stormsofsteel.com/map1.swf

I love it, and the flash one!

Wow! What program was that made with? Well done!

Nice! Feel like I could wrap that around a globe and have it make sense. Let me re-ask stringbean's question - how did you do that?

 

[Ken McCracken]

Glad you like it! The map jpeg was done in Photoshop 5.5 with lots of emboss and texture brushes.

Then I imported the jpeg into Flash and scripted that weird zoom thing.

holy good gravy. I wish I could make a map a millionth of a percent as good.

I've been stumbling around with my world map for a new campaign world for awhile now. After seeing yours, I'm inspired to put some time and effort into mine.

I seconded the thoughts of La Bete and brak1... I'll be happy with a realistic map that looks 1% as good.

My question is about how much time would say you put into it after you had the basic ideas down?

This was probably 6-8 hours work. Heh, scripting the flash zoom-in took considerably longer to figure out.

That looks great. I'm stunned that people can actually do maps that look that... well, maplike in Photoshop.
