[QUOTE="Mapmaker, post: 942954, member: 9272"] [b]Maps[/b] Yeah; for regional or world maps, I prefer to just include a scale at the bottom to allow readers to measure distance more freely. I keep a list of potential map idea that the editor and I put together with input from various associates. It's growing faster than I can get the maps made, so I think that feature will be around for a good long time. ;) An industrial site like you mention wasn't yet on the list, but I like it. Consider it added. :) Right now we've got enough ideas to keep the feature going at the rate of two maps/month for a couple of years at least, so I can't say when this map in particular will pop up (they're in no particular order)...but I do like the idea. I consider my water technique a bit of a trade secret, but I can tell you that there's no transparency at work in that one. It's all done with a combination of careful digital painting and a little photoshop wizardry. There is an easter egg hidden within the waters of that map, though. Stare into the water beneath the cage for a while and tell me if anything jumps out at you. :) I'm rather tickled that that easter egg even appears in the magazine's latest subscription card. :) [/QUOTE]
