Posted: 04 Mar 2018, 18:40
hello, some peoples asked me how do i create my maps and planets artworks, so, i will answer you right now, my maps are made using 2 website + paint.net
first website i use is planet map generator, here, you can choose projection ( mercator / mollweide ) , and many other interesting things.
i alway use mercator , olsson for relief and lefevbre2 for forests, vegetations, mountains.
with this website, you can change water elevation , lattitude color ( it will impact snow amount ) .
average size is use is width = 1000 and height = 800

when the map is finished, i use paint.net to edit the map a bit but it is not nessecary
and finally, when finished, i use PlanetMaker to make my map into a planet
i let you understand how does it work because it is trully hard to explain
