Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 6:26 pm Post subject: the lazy mapper experiment FAIL!
Because I suck at photoshop and want a method to create a lot quality looking maps I created a program that will [try to] generate them automatically.
The method is simple, hence the 'lazy' part of the name.
find a good looking map.
create a mask image in paint or photoshop.
create a new mask of whatever you like.
after running the program, it spits out a new map image.
I consider the experiment a failure because once you consider map-items, debris, terrain shading ect, the quality will not be up to par of a painted map.
Back to the drawing board.
I'll put up a download link later for anyone who wants to experiment with the program.
Update: Here Is the link to the test program. There is an INI file that can be used to change the settings. remember that this is just a proof of concept program, not a feature rich application.
