Marshal Rohr Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 First time in photoshop. Had some fun. I will be revisiting it later once I figure out Illustrator to redo the words and borders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecritter Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 very nice map ... just one problem, even at full size the planet names are completely unreadable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 That's pretty neat - it's a very nice map with a cool nebula effect for the EoT. But I'll echo Ecritter's concerns on the clarity of the planet names (although I can make out the words) - I think they need to be made bolder and perhaps a slightly larger font size to rectify the issue. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Very very cool man. I have to ask, would you be against someone using these maps for a private campaign between friends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Rohr Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 It was created as a 2400x2400 Image, but when I put it on the BnC photo album it scaled incorrectly. Now I am having trouble resizing it, and the original file is just as blurry when I open it again... ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Try using an external filehost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother 'Ussell Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Good stuff, I've had simular problems with scaling with pics I've posted here before. Let us know what you did if you get it sorted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Awesome sauce map. I love the style approach you've used. Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Rohr Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Im having a really hard time trying to replicate the forge world maps. I wanted to do one for the famous sectors of 40K. Scarus, Gothic, Cadia, Armageddon. The problem arrises when places like Scarus have two maps with different planets, Armageddon has the stars too close together, and Cadia has two planets. Also, I cant add in the nebula images from the web to add some authenticity because I can get them to blend right. The Goal is to have them as pretty as the Forge World Maps, but I cant get it right :) . As for a tutorial, this picture took about 9 hours, seven different website tutorials, 3 hours worth of youtube videos, and all the time I spent going through space pictures on the web. The simplest way would be too play with the renders and sparks tool in GIMP, use HSV noise for stars, free select to clear space, and color balance on multiple layers to blend the clusters.
