      @@LeoLeonis bro what? nah start now. There is a rare coherence that i see in your "brand" , the vocabulary , the visuals , the names , the world building. Not something everyone can have and see for themselves , you have it intuitively and it will perfectly translate to book. Learn about creative writing , it has never been as easy and fun as right now. So many tools these days, including platforms, language correctors (so you dont have to worry too much about grammar/syntax) and even AI's for reformulations, synonyms of metaphors findings, image generation for inspiration and easy visualization, or straight up generating text useing NovelAI/GPT etc (cheating but hey, some people do it, just dont let it suppress your style). If you enjoy making visuals and maps and the likes, you can always insert them into the novel, creating something truly unique and complete. Its obvious you have a creative urge to put a world out there... Why build worlds like you do, if not to tell stories you have inside? Plus i also sense that "perfectionist" side ; that is a recipe for a true craft. Learn the basic of novel writing, make the last step...and thank me in a couple years :)

  • @Brenden-H
    @Brenden-H 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I dont understand what is going wrong Im stuck trying to make the path from the selection The path ends up with approximated curves and lots of jagged triangle edges and it looks really bad especially when stroking the path. Also, single pixels get 3 path points on 3 of 4 edges, making the path around them triangles instead of squares from the selection I used. (other larger shapes are also approximated as perfect triangles when making a path from selection, like it's trying to use as little path points as it can rather than being accurate) In this video your selection to path seems to make a pixel perfect path around the selection with 90-degree angles around the pixels. How do you do that? (Furthermore, you stroke the coast with an eraser and add details smaller than the pixels seemingly? I'm so confused...) Edit: (At exactly 21:00 you "create the path" but it's a jump cut to the path done and filled in with white and its perfect squares and blocky. How did you do that? The video literally skips it, that's not what my path looks like, nor does the path auto fill with color, was that something you did after making it?)

    • @LeoLeonis
      @LeoLeonis 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Mmh with what resolution are you working? I am not sure but it might be that trying a higher resolution might be helpful. A second idea would be that the issue is with your original selection - e.g. when selecting by color there are options such as antialiasing and feature edges that will fade out your selection, it will then still look you selected some definitive pixels but adjacent pixels might also be in the scope of the selection.

    I find this so cool! I'm watching it three years later and following the steps, as well as using some other techniques, to start my first world-building project! The only question I have is: How did you obtain a world projection grid? You mentioned searching for them as SVG files on the internet, but I haven't been able to find any! I'm also aware of the list of map projections (I'd like to use a Mollweide projection), but I can't find any file with an empty grid, only files of the real-world map with their respective projection systems. I've also been trying to figure out how to configure the projection grid in some other drawing program or in GIMP itself, but I haven't been successful. How did you get yours? I hope you could help! I am very thankful for your work and tutorial :). Best regards.

      An easy way would be to create a static map and then export a series of individual frames (where e.g. you move a border or so in each frame) and then create a gif from the exported frames, which can also be done with Gimp - if you would want to create more complex animations you could look into DaVince Resolve or After Effects :)
