Quick free world maps using GIMP filters and Donjon fractal maps


Book Description

I will show step-by-step instructions how to use two online tools to make several kinds of maps from randomized fractal maps. The value in this book isn't the original maps, which are free. The value is in the techniques used to turn those maps into 3d, contour, and highly detailed maps by using digital techniques in the book. Also I show how to create a better outline map. You don't actually draw the map. You pick which one you like from a random created map. Doing so only takes a few steps - depending on what details you want - and can be done whenever you want. I show how to make highly detailed maps. It's pretty easy. Just a few buttons and setting adjustments to automate results which I show. It's much easier than drawing or using digital brushes although you depend on randomly made maps. Ideal chunks of 100 pixels or less clips. Even better are 3 to 20 pixel clips such as the small island.
