Where exactly in China is it?

Ok, found it.  I'll see what I can do.

Got the data, give me about a week or two as I have some other requests to finish up before I can start this one.

[zakuten 8]

Sweet! Thank you so very much!

Not a problem.

[blade2k5 1,523]

Here's what your request of Hangzhou China will look like Zakuten...

I had a bigger version I was working on last night [12x9.5 large tiles] that covered more area to the east, but TerraFormer wouldn't save the work I had done on it.  So I had to go with the smaller version you see above [9.5x7 large tiles].  This request has been slipped into the next batch of renderings I'll be doing over the next couple of weeks.

[zakuten 8]

Eep, sorry! I hate to say this, but that's actually a little off, the city is northeast of it--- It should be centered at 30.255679,120.172391, according to Google Maps' coordinates. That bend of the river going off the northern edge is actually the southern edge of the city. There should also be a small lake by the hills as well.

All my fault for not being so specific, sorry!

[blade2k5 1,523]

Oops. You're right. Ok, I'll have to re-do the map then. As for the lake you mentioned, it didn't even show in the data, so it probably won't be added in. Anyways, is the size of the map ok with you?

I'll be back a little later to check for your answer, I'm off to watch Monday Night Football

[zakuten 8]

Oh, yeah, the size is just great! No worries, I'll dig out the lake myself... It -is- super shallow, only about 10 feet, so it's probably below the resolution available. Thanks so much!

You are the best at making maps.

Ok, I'll get to work on re-doing the DEM cropping and getting the map done as far as TerraFormer.  By the way, would you like the earlier map as well?  I can keep it for release if you like.

Thanks Aaron.  If you ever have a request, don't be hesitant to ask.

Either way, it's up to you, as for the other map. It doesn't really focus town, just some outer suburbs, so I could personally take it or leave it. However, I wouldn't want you to waste your work, so--

Actually, it wasn't all that much work, it took maybe about a half hour to do.  The real time consuming process is rendering, opening each tile one at a time and then saving.  Maybe I'll add to my Somewhere In The World series I'm still working on.

Thanks and enjoy the map.

[blade2k5 1,523]

zakuten, here's the correct area you're looking for...[i took a closer look at the area in Google Earth this time]

This one is a bit smaller, 8x6.5 large tiles [the row on the bottom are medium tiles] and I also took a closer look at the area with Google Earth and see the lake you were talking about, but as you can see from the image above, that area has raised elevation and doesn't clearly define the lakes outline.  So like you suggested, I'm going to leave it you to draw it in so you can get the shape as accurate as you want.

[zakuten 8]

Thanks so much, that's just perfect-- I'm sure in Terraformer I can find the outline better and dig it out-- plus, having lived there for a semester, I could figure it out pretty well, hahah

Ok, sounds good.  Like I mentioned before, it'll be a week or two before I can release it as I have a request for mapping various areas of Mindanao Island in the Philippines.  I think so far I have four or five out of 10 that are worth of releasing, just haven't rendered them yet as I like to do that in batches.

[zakuten 8]

Of course, no worries. Take your time.

[blade2k5 1,523]

Here's what I have for you...an acurately scaled 8x8 large tile map of Iquique...

[SoujiroElric 0]

Looks perfect!! Thank you a lot!!

[blade2k5 1,523]

As requested a couple of months ago, here is the Mindanao Island Philippines map pak.  Featured in this pak are Datu Odin Sinsuat, Tupi-Mt. Tatutum and Zambaonga City.

Datu Odin Sinsuat:

Tupi - Mt Matutum:

Zamboanga City:

This map pak will be available on the STEX very soon.

[blade2k5 1,523]

As requested by zakuten, here is the finished Hangzhou China map...

As requested by SoujiroElric, here is the finished Iquique Chile Map...

These maps will be available on the STEX very soon.

[zakuten 8]

Thanks so much!

[SoujiroElric 0]

Wow thank you very much!!! =D This actually cheered me up!

[blade2k5 1,523]

It's on the STEX available for download now.

[blade2k5 1,523]

The next four maps due for release later this week are all from Greece. They are Athens, Mount Olympus, Patrai and Volos. Showcase pics coming in the next few days.

[rawr APPLES 15]

Has your Portsmouth, UK map been rereleased yet? It's still on the STEX as Portsmouth, but the maps still London..

Can't find it anywhere.

[Allstillwell 77]

In the next couple of days I'll post some teasers.  I just got my shipment of BluRays/DVDs and some CDs from Amazon today and have been watching a couple of movies.

[blade2k5 1,523]

Ok, here are the teasers for the four Greece maps I mentioned I'm doing a few days ago.  I just got through inspecting all four areas in Google Earth and it looks like there are no rivers missing that I could see, so these are ready for render.  Now I just need to decide on a terrain mod to render them with.  Choices, choices, what to do?

Athens:

Mt. Olympus Reagion:

Patrait:

Volos:

And there you have it.  There may be more maps from Greece coming soon, but there are definitely some maps of Mexico coming after these.

[blade2k5 1,523]

And here are the finished Greece maps....

Athens:

Mt. Olympus Region:

Patrai:

Volos:

These will be released on Monday sometime.
