never mind i converted it myself, i just hadn't installed g projector. it's a lot easier to use than something like q-gis
as you can probably tell, venus is next.

I already did it.
This map base on your pic.

@ThePoliteCannibal I kinda see that you use the regular font, but, you modified a few letters. Is this a different font?

You mean the messages on the board? I don't change the font so it must be the default one.

No the font on your map.

I actually found a way to quickly get the shapes of the continents

1. Open Paint.NET and paste a topographic map into the background layer
2. Create another layer and paste the template of the planet you are going to do.
3. In the background layer, use the magic wand tool to select an island or continent.
4. Go to the other layer and fill in the selection with black.
It’s not perfect, but it’s very fast.

Ah, the font is called 04b03 and you can find it online easily.

Could someone show me how ocean currents work, i.e how to determine where warm and cold ones go?

Okay, so, better (more accurate!!!) data now, and a slightly more aesthetically-pleasing sea level.

Same disclaimers as before: free to use with permission, NASA data, @Ashtagon's color scheme (though slightly modified now to accomodate all the extra degrees of height represented).

Crossposting from the main map thread!

@Serafim I was looking through the solar system maps on your DA account, and the only info i could find about how you made them(at least in english) is that you used Paint.NET and some plugin. Which plugin do you use for creating those types of maps?

Yes. This is true. I used the shape3d plugin only

Thanks.

This is my progress on venus so far. It's slow, but I believe I can get it done.
Someday.

Behold.

 

[ST15RM]

Mars is done.

@ThePoliteCannibal can you calculate the dimensions for Phobos and Deimos(in pixels) for me?

On my scale 1 pixel equals approximately 30km so Phobos would be about 0.3 pixels nad Deimos would be 0.2 pixels

Every last map I've seen grossly exaggerates their size since they are satellites of a close-by planet.

btw

Behold.

I see what you did there

So that's why you don't have them on your map, because they are too small?

Hello.
I don't know if I'm addressing on the theme, but can you find and link away a Vulcan's map in the Star Trek? Advance thanks.
