Title: Height Map Needed
Post by: Bluminescent on January 10, 2014, 06:27:20 pm

I feel as if I'm not good at making Height Maps. xD So if it wouldn't bother anyone, could someone make a height map for me? I'd really want someone who's professional, or close to professional, to make the height map for me (Because I plan on making the map realistic.) I don't care if you add a few hills and such, heck, I don't care if you add a little creek that branches off from the river, as long as you stick by the requirements.

I'm planning to make the map huge, possibly close to 80000 x 80000, so don't making the camps and river to big!

Red is landmarks and such, and dark blue are where the camps for each pack are to be located.

Hullo, I might be able to do this. ^^ Just a word of warning: FeralHeart tends to crash if you go anywhere near 100000 width; sometimes I can get up to 80000, but that's crashed before, so I am dubious. 50000 is pretty huge and it seems relatively safe, but you can most certainly push the map larger - it's just a matter of how much you are willing to risk crashes - anyhow, I'll give this heightmap a go. ^^ I'll post back here once I've made some progress.

Ok. I'm gonna go around the 50000-60000 range.

Alright, I've got a small update for you. ^^ Here's an image of the cliffs in the lower left of your map:

I realise there needs to be a camp area atop them, and I'll get to that as soon as I can. ^^ also, in this image circled in red, you can see the small islands below the cliffs:

I'm thinking I'll probably transpose them further out, as they're fairly close to the cliffs at the moment; of course unless you wish it to be that way - just let me know.

This is only some very early progress, so most of the heightmap is incomplete. I'll continue to post updates as they come along. ^^ One of the things I'm definitely going to change soon is the depth of the ocean; in these pictures it's barely distinguishable from the land, and so I'll be fixing that anon.

Also, as I continue to post updates, feel free to offer your input; I'm making this heightmap in an external program, and what you see here is more or less what you'll get inside of FeralHeart. If there's anything you feel should be changed, just comment on it and I'll see what I can do. ^^

Ok, thanks for keeping me up on the progress! That looks so wonderful!

Alright! got another update; methinks this is relatively close to finished, if not finished, but being the client, you are free to request changes. ^^ Here are some screenshots:

The river betwixt the cleft of the mountain and the cliff

The settings I used for these screenshots was 25000 width, 5000 height, and 1300 ocean height. I intended to go larger, around the 60000 range you specified, but that makes it extremely difficult to take pictures due to FeralHeart's insane amount of fog. Here's the same locations, but with the settings 60000 width, 10000 height, and an ocean height of 2500:

Anyhow! I'll PM you with the file, and you can let me know if anything needs to be changed. ^^
