Empire building


I've never mastered drawing programs - I couldn't Photoshop my way out of a paper bag. Which is why I find things like this DIY topographical map program so fascinating. At lab.parkstudio.ru/terra you can waste hours playing around with land features, cloud opacity and fractal noise (whatever that is) to make your own little 3D topographical maps, which are then brought to life in front of your eyes.
