Musical Reflection IV

Let me know of what stories, ideas and feelings this reminds you. I am intentionally not giving these compositions a title, because I'd be very curious to hear what people associate with them. I gave the compositions as a whole the tentative name 'Tanepeisi', meaning 'Memories' in Imerilé. Hope you enjoy this!

    I find this so cool! I'm watching it three years later and following the steps, as well as using some other techniques, to start my first world-building project! The only question I have is: How did you obtain a world projection grid? You mentioned searching for them as SVG files on the internet, but I haven't been able to find any! I'm also aware of the list of map projections (I'd like to use a Mollweide projection), but I can't find any file with an empty grid, only files of the real-world map with their respective projection systems. I've also been trying to figure out how to configure the projection grid in some other drawing program or in GIMP itself, but I haven't been successful. How did you get yours? I hope you could help! I am very thankful for your work and tutorial :). Best regards.

      Yeah, I usually stick around the 5.000 x 5.000 mark for the final maps. You may laugh about this but this year I have been working on remaking the map for my world from scratch and it's 35.000 x 35.000 (allowing me to create exports from regional areas in still high enough resolution to create rich maps from them) - hope to share something soon :)

    How do you animate your maps? I've been looking for a simple solution...

    • @LeoLeonis
      @LeoLeonis 11 місяців тому

      An easy way would be to create a static map and then export a series of individual frames (where e.g. you move a border or so in each frame) and then create a gif from the exported frames, which can also be done with Gimp - if you would want to create more complex animations you could look into DaVince Resolve or After Effects :)
