Post Detail Tips
In My last release, PillarsOfDoom, I tried out some detailing techniques. Here they are.


Things you will need to do to make a highly detailed map.
(If you use Gimp, Use the color selecter for steps 3 4 and 5, it is easier)

1. Draw an outline of the map.
2. Fill them in.
3. Draw a THIN layer of topsoil on the top layer of material.
4. Use pencil to draw a jittered line just below the topsoil. (Tablet comes in handy here)
5. Add detail such as small veins of different materials.
6. Anything you want to do to it to finish of.

Material
Blends
Does not blend

Topsoil
Soil, Rock
Sand, Dirt

Sand, Dirt, Topsoil
Rock, Stuff

That is all I can remember, so hope this is usefull.

Preview of what I have made, and how to do it.



ALSO

It is better to make A highly detailed map and take a month than make 5 low detailed maps in 5 minutes.

Also, if you shade with the three standard rock kinds, you can archive quite interesting results.
