I wrote/programmed several algorithms in Java using Eclipse (@Bstn thank you again for the Java help) that manipulated a data array of elevations. My starting point was a grayscale image that marked basic elevations. White for mountains, black for sea level, and shades of gray for hills and everything between. I applied a cloud-type fractal pattern to fill in detail, and then used simulated water erosion to add more detail. The output was created by exporting the elevation data to a colored image. The current version took about four weeks to complete. If anyone is interested in specifics, let me know.
I just downloaded the program.
Would love a step by step tutorial. I want Pretany to go Boss. Would give me something to work with in correcting and detailing my forested areas.

Awesome. I like how you did the elevations/contours. Good stuff you did.
I hope for the best.

Wow, that looks amazing. :-)

This slays. Completely. What are the programs you used?
Comment from JBstad1 on 24 July 2016 at 05:33
I second that, bhj867 ;)

Holy crap, what a great job. I’d like to get to the point where I can attempt something like this. What program did you use? Is that a JOSM plugin?

Wow, what an increase of detail in one month of work! Like what you did on your own.
@bhj867 Programmed with Java using Eclipse, I guess. All 2d stuff is possible to be made with the default Java installation on your computer.
Keep on the work. I am looking forward to topographize Gobrassanya!

Hey, I’m interested Paxtar.
