Insane Asylum Grounds - WIP, feedback

[Robbie]

Hey all, long time no see! I've been making a map! It's for my Insane Asylum game that I've reignited yet again. I've been planning the grounds so I can start decorating and wanted to get some ongoing feedback on it.

Still to add: Coal storage, gas holders, cemetery, barn, fields, cistern (maybe), possibly some other things I haven't thought of yet.

The black line coming in from top left to the back of the boilerhouse is a railroad spur for dropping off coal and supplies.

Did some more work on the Grounds...here's where it is now. I've also added contours...anyone wanna see em?

Hi Robbie, Are you planning on doing any 3D renders when you have the contours ? You should post a link back to your old vidoes of the place for those people who did not dee it the first time around, as they were fascinating and so well done. If you have the old 3D building model sitting in a contoured landscape in 3D then yes, I would be interested in seeing it. I am certain that's where you are heading with it so looking forward to seeing that.

I've been keeping a blog of the game progress, but it needs to be updated with this stuff. https://fantaseum.com/category/proje...bride-project/

I've done quite a bit more work on the grounds layout...this is completely different than what's been shown so far because this particular layout is in planning and doesn't exist in 3d yet.

I actually might need a little help...I kinda haphazardly plotted some contours, but I ended up NOT sticking to even gradations. I've got the colors where I want, but I'd like to smooth it and possibly erode it and turn it into a height map. Could this be something I could process with a tool from waldronate or Redrobes? Any ideas?

Since it looks to be gray scale you could probably use Wilbur with some precip erosion and a bit of guasien blur. You might just as easily do a bit of pre bluring before processing it in wilbur. I could try playing with it a bit when I get home from work and give you a better idea as far as numbers go unless waldronate happens by before I get there. Not sure about Red's tools since I have never tried using them.

Hope that helps.
