Tips for Virgin Terrain

[Victim_913 26]

My map was created using L3dt. Im wondering if anyone has any tips to make the satellite texture look real. Most maps have a real sat map that has different colors, textures, roads, etc. on them while  new terrain is pretty much 1 color. For this, I am not talking about the mask with layers textures etc. I notice diff shapes and patterns that are difficult to replicate while still looking authentic. different fields, farms, forests, etc.

I know how to do this in gimp/photoshop but i'm sure some of you have good suggestions that you worked through.

Again, I don't need a painter tool, just a technique or something. The painter tool suggested to me will be good for the mask textures. I thought of adding this question to my thread for mask creation, but I thought this separate thread might make it easier to search for others.

Thanks

well not really dead, but in general you´re right. Help is faster and better provided on Discord.

But as I´m already writing here, I can help out as much as I can do.

I´m currently working on a map that has no real place origins, it´s completely free created from scratch by using L3DT as well.

My SatMap looks actually quite cool (my own opinion of course ) although it´s selfmade.

 

If you´re interested so I can give you a Hand by using Discord, TS or whatever you prefer. I consider my self to have enough experiences to share the one or other thing I know. The Community helped my out much as well, so why shall I not do the same. Just shoot me a message if you´re interested.
