Other World Mapper Forum

I have just joined the Beta program and my first impressions are very positive. As is to be expected, I have discovered a bug, though. I am usually working on world maps, so projections are the first thing I started to test out. What I have discovered: any polar landmasses drawn in the Mercator Tran...

I would be interested in a faux-3D view. I.e., I would like to work on my maps in 2D, but if the end result can feel like it is 3D without me having to actually work on the 3D stuff, I am all for it.

I have only now noticed I never responded to the last post here. I read it in March, I formed an answer in my head... and apparently forgot to actually post it. And now I don’t remember what I was meaning to say, obviously. I have been working on the World of Twin Suns recently - a world I want to a...

I feel you. I am just starting out creating a setting. I am still working on the map though. I have the basic outline planned out but I couldnt get the exact shoreline I wanted with GIMP so I am eagerly awaiting OWM. :| I’m working with Pixelmator now. GIMP is too unfriendly. The shorelines are a b...

The February update in Kickstarter has a video to show the progress (it's in our you tube channel as well).

Ok, I have seen that one. The word „new“ made me think that maybe you have published something after that.

Is there some new video I haven’t seen or are you catching up?

Kanchou, Thanks for the quick update!.. I won't be one of those guys and point obstinately at the BootCamp logo while screaming the words " Or Parrallels " over and over.. but you know .. :lol: -jk- ... We will get there Stefanstr.. and it will be SWEEEET! Casey :ugeek: I don’t mind VMs but I don’t...

Alpha doesn’t help much: I am a Mac user so I didn’t back at the Alpha level, since it will be Windows-only, I was made to understand.

But I am glad you guys are on track.

Well... my arts teacher did agree with me that I had no talent so... And I am not looking for perfection. I am looking for a few simple things. The automatic fractal noise added to shores (I can’t create nice looking shores for the life of me). The ability to take a slice of a macro-scale map and us...

I have been working on a map for a fantasy setting recently, and having the worst time. As a Mac user who isn’t a proficient graphic designer, I am struggling every time I need to create a map. I can’t wait to get my hands on OWM. And since this forum has been all but dead the last two weeks, I thou...
