| Post subject: | Mythica Map Maybe |
Here's a possible map of my world Mythica that I made using Campaign Cartographer. I'm not sure if this is what my world will look like when it's all said and done or not. The coast, rivers, and mountain ranges are the same as a map that I uploaded earlier  This is the original map

The original map (one on the bottom) was made with a graphics-tablet using a program called ArtRage, you can download simpler versions for free (or at least you used to be able to) but you can the same with gimp. The second map was made using Campaign Cartographer 3, a software originally made for RPG gamers that works for fantasy writers as well. There are no free versions of this one and it's pretty pricey (like $45 or more...can't remember). When I was younger (like 4 years younger) I was not the wisest of people in how I spent my money. Glad you like it. In Christ, Jordan |

WOAH!!! That's incredible! How does that program work? It looks much more professional. Are there more maps to this world? |

The first attempt was way back when I was twelve and it has changed greatly since that (the first maps were on a sheet of paper and all along the edge was a giant desert...that's gone now). As I continue to hash out Mythica, the map will probably continue to change. One thing is that this doesn't show any continents or the group of islands that are somewhere off to the east that play a role in my understanding of Mythica. So...lots of work to be done. One idea is to zoom out, but no attempt at giving Mythica continents has turned out satisfactorily, so....Elanhil wrote: WOAH!!! That's incredible! How does that program work? CC3 is a vector-based program, meaning it's based on geometric entities rather than mapping bits. The basic way it works is you draw the outline and it feels in the texture. So I drew the outline of the land and it filled it in with the green texture. Likewise for the water. The other main feature is that of pre-made symbols which you can paste into the map. The nice part about these features is that you can scale them before you paste them in, making them as big or small as you like. There's a lot more to the program than that, it's a very versatile software with lots of potential for personal customization and creativity, but this overview gives you an idea of how I did it.
