This texture was generated in Filter Forge, a Photoshop plugin that allows you to create your own filters.
Generate contour maps in 12 styles. Choose 9 colors for the layers of altitude, plus an accent color and grid color. Set the opacity of the accent and grid. Finish by setting the reflectivity, reflection blur, and metallic values.
A wide variety of effects are possible, from plastic to glass to metal, sci-fi to silly, terrain to techno. Be sure to experiment with the lighting too!
Have fun! :)
NOTE: Map types 8-12 take longer to render than types 1-7.
