Mapscript to Create Desert + Rainforest?
« on: November 30, 2010, 03:24:07 pm »
Does anyone have any idea how to set up a mapscript to give me vast swaths of desert and isolated pockets of rainforest? I don't really want to sit through three thousand rejections to try and get a decent map.

Help please. :<

Use the DFPerfectWorld utility. Technically not updated for .18 from what I know, but it still works. Tinkering with its options make it very easy to your desired results.

you might have to make lots of tiny peaks, and play with the rainshadows using perfect world, but thats the tool to use.
