Thank you, I did this one because I am kind of back to Dungeons and Dragons table game, I though this could be a nice way of making new maps, half work done with some clicks.
Also I though this could potentially get an EP, but I was wrong

I am a DM too... If I was a player I would have done a filter for sword generation

I am uploading a new iteration with some nice stuff such as trees with tree shape.
I don't see any other fantasy map generator like this one in the library.
Next thing to add, lines for kingdoms.

Excellent! Great water colors and border stuff.

I second the E.P.!

I have a new update ready that fixes some trees issues, really evident mostly at high res renderings.

Thank you Skybase, didn't think about that. Fixing already!

Hey - you DID get an EP!!! Congrats! Well deserved!

HA HA! I have to admit that it crossed my mind if you did NOT get a 'real' EP that I would bestow upon you and honorary 'E.P.' from me.

I plan on using this as a background and adding some 3D rendered elements (sailing ships, sea monsters and land beasts, etc. I'll try to remember to post it here when I get it done.)

Keep up the great work!

Hum weird there were a lot more comments in this thread.
I guess we keep having DDBB problems with the forum.

Erik I am looking forward to your updates.

Just uploaded an update with some new stuff

Just downloaded. Great work!

Sorry -- pay no attention to this post, it has now (the next day) downloaded.

Was this some sort of download limit I reached yesterday? Perhaps, and after I got this error I couldn't download anything else so today that was the first thing I tried and it did work.

Thanks, that's very generous of you to take the time to do that.

This is all pretty amazing stuff -- I used to own DarkTrees, which was a similar product (although many, many years ago) and I never got around to really using it much. Now that I'm (slowly) getting back to animation I can see a really use for both the filter aspect of FF as well as the patterns.

Yes, I used it with 3DS Max (and after all these years I have come back to Max -- I was an early adopter, back when it was 3DS Studio and ran in DOS. I suspect you kids won't know what I'm talking about :>).

I'll have to look at Substance Designer, but I'm far more of an end user than I am a "designer" when it comes to these things. I do wish there was an option to use FF inside of Max natively, like you could with DarkTrees (heck, I wish I could use it natively inside of Photoshop, like I can with other third party filters -- if only I could use some of those creative filters with my animation, processing the actual animation rather than just the backgrounds, it would be amazing).

Hello Niki.
Never thought about that, and you are right! Which engine are you using, Unity?

I'd like to know if there is a way to eliminate the compass illustration on the bottom. Otherwise this would be a great addition to my Ukelo Project.

Great work and well done, like the effect and how is done. Cool idea

I'll rework it.

Hi TLJonline : I know with the planet generator you have to have a SQUARE canvas, but you can then put it in canvas of any size you want. For instance I create a square 1920x1920 canvas, run the planet filter then drag that into a 1920x1200 and resize it down and finish out the background. It would be NICE if you didn't have to do it that way, but some of these ones that REQUIRE a square canvas also make some of the most amazing images! For the cartography one - I have wrestled with it from time to time and end up doing a fair amount of Photoshop work to it in 1920x1200 images.

I hope this helps some.

I could have swore we brought the square canvas thing up with dactilardesign and thought it had been addressed. Can you double check that you have the latest version of the filter?

Thank you Erik for figuring that out.
But how do you know? how can you get one version or the other?

May it be possible that I sent that version to you and never uploaded it?
