New World map for WTP Options

[Sir-Kill]

here is the final render of the world map v. 1

Click here for homepage click the 'View Large World Map' link to see a bigger image but you will either have to play the game or mod for wtp to see all the details that I have put in there

Some stats:
rendered in 3ds max7 w/o any post work
psp8 to create the textures
full image 8000x6336
Mos size 61.9mb
vertex count 36781
poly count 32999
triangle count 72660
texture/maps used 179
different elements 34
rendering time about 1 1/2 hrs.
start/end time Mar 17 2006 - Dec 6 2006
263 days worked, conservative estimate hours worked per day 5 = 1315 hrs

Crazy or dedicated??

this has been a learning experience for me. There has been 2 versions created but half way through the first I had to start over since my computer is a hunk of junk and I created too many polys for this computer to handle thus the restart.

Ok, guys, another question. Sir-Kill´s worldmap is so pretty, that it would be a damn shame to use original map icons. Have you ever thought about using map icons similiar to Icewind Dale 1 style?? First, making them is pretty easy, and second, they will look much better on this type of worldmap. After all, this map is not hand drawed like original is, it´s rendered. It needs something better that original map icons...

What do you think??
