END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

Hi Halo,

I'm a newb too! But here's what I have learnt..

The default 15 colour maps are stored in the M3Dmaps folder. You can add any image to the folder by renaming it as an ascending number from 16 onwards up to 300. The maps can be bmps, jpegs or pngs, and don't have to be large. 256 pixels square will do it. Should be easy to create some colour gradients in PS.

The cool 3D prog Incendia, comes with a little random tile generator, that creates 30 256 pixel square tiles in a single click. Some are crap (it's random) but some are very useful for maps.

Hope that helps.

Steve.
