I've been meaning to comment on this.  I think it's a cool tutorial.  I haven't yet had an opportunity to put my hand to the test on this, but this is certainly on my list to try. 

 

Congrats!

I hadn't even noticed Australia and Indonesia on the wrong side of Africa until just now xD What have you done, minners!?

Minners, I like your outcome. Nevermind that the countries are moved. I really like the idea of the UK & Europe being next to Australia & if possible, put them somewhere where we have nice even temps, please :) 

I would not have noticed the misplacement -ever.

 

Having same issues with posting images too. 

 

As I said - the outcome is great to me :D

Editing posts:  Try flicking the little "switch" icon in the editing toolbar to toggle between BB and editing mode.  I find it helps.

EER, what icon? I cannot find it.

 

Both the quick and full editors should have it.  Look in the Tool Bar top left, just above the Bold icon.

 

@Minners71:  Awesome image :star:

if I werent replicating another planet, woudn't it be possible to achieve this effect using only the 3D tool?

 

anyway, here is a serious deviant that I ended up with; got really carried away.

Theoretically, yes. As far as practicality goes, however, rendering a bazillion spheres in increasing size is a real pain (to get the extruded effect). Zoom blur/transparency adjustment is faster by far.

@pdnnoob--thanks for the tutorial! It was a great help and inspiration for me.  :smile:

 

Here's my interpretation of the tutorial; I hope it meets all the rules and such. This is my first attempt at a somewhat vintage map, but I was aiming for something unique. Thanks  :)

Hey Rocky532 - welcome to the forum :)

 

Woah!  That's a nice map!  The coloring of the land masses could be just a little lighter - however it's still an excellent piece.  Impressed.
