The Island Project is progressing just a little behind schedule. It took a lot of work and effort to bring all types of features into one project, elevation, texturing, lakes, rivers and vegetation, into a single map.

Here is a first look at one of tiny island of the group, the most rugged one. This is just the raw untouched elevation and textures from World Machine rendered in Vue, with no touch up and post processing at all. Despite this I consider this my best work so far.

Next step is to do a first complete render including masks. This is to be used as a base for placing settlements, roads and fields. There will be a poll coming up to let you all pitch in on where to add these features.

The goal is to have it all done and in your hands by the end of January.
