Post by: SeryZone on October 01, 2014, 04:49:17 PM
Rendering reliefs.

Relief of Ukraine:

(http://pnv.kiev.ua/img/gallery_house_1471/4/org/ukrmap.gif)

I tried in UF make it using Perlin noise, but land is not realistic. Here, palette:

Gradient-Fractal1,Background {
gradient:
  title="Gradient - Fractal1, Background" smooth=yes rotation=1
  index=0 color=25136 index=50 color=5031052 index=100 color=9361849
  index=150 color=12906466 index=200 color=12776949 index=250
  color=10149884 index=300 color=6336757 index=350 color=2708611
  index=389 color=6460 index=390 color=14592065 index=399
  color=8878902
opacity:
  smooth=no index=0 opacity=255
}


Please, help me.

well you will need the real DEM ( Digital Elevation Map ) data for that area

start with
http://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/

the 7.5 ,15 and  30 arc second data is here
http://topotools.cr.usgs.gov/gmted_viewer/
http://topotools.cr.usgs.gov/gmted_viewer/gmted2010_global_grids.php

then remap that data into the l;ocal datum that that map is using
the NOT free and expensive ARC-Gis can do that and so can the FREE
G.R.A.S.S program or GDAL
http://grass.osgeo.org/

then you need to "Shade" the real elevation data

there are many ways to do that
