Description

Authors have the hardest job

We have to work hard to get people to read our stories but it only takes a few seconds for a map of your world to draw attention. In the quick glance of a map your readers will have taken in more of your world than you could show them in a full chapter of your novel.

However, if you’re not an artist then drawing a stunning map could prove difficult. That’s where The Map Generator for Photoshop comes in by providing simple tools to create a stunning map.

What’s included in The Map Generator?

This bundle includes 5 map styles in the form of Photoshop actions.

The Map Generator for Photoshop also includes the very useful Random Terrain Generator and a tutorial showing you exactly how to use the actions. I’ve even added a bonus into the package:

The Random Terrain Generator Action

The beauty of this action is that it will generate random terrain for you on any sized canvas. It doesn’t matter if you’re working at 72 dpi or 300 dpi the Random Terrain Generator (RTG) will generate interesting terrain. The only thing you need to do is use a white brush to paint out any land that you don’t want including on your map.

5 Map Styles

Once you have generated your terrain using the RTG then all you need to do is run one of the 3 actions to add a style to the terrain.

• Fantasy map style
• Aged map style
• Simple line map style
• Secret Scifi style
• Print ready line

Here’s a video showing the map styles in action:

And here is a screenshot showing an example of the 5 styles

The supplied guide also provides instructions for using these styles without the RTG.

Bonus: World Map Typography Action

As a special bonus you’ll also receive the “World Map Typography” action. Once you’ve installed this action all it takes is one click and it will generate a series of typography layers that you can copy and use to label your map.

These typography layers are set the exact settings that I use for labeling my own maps. Using the map generator does take some Photoshop knowledge however I’ve included a step by step guide that will show you exactly how to use the actions – so even if you’re a complete beginner you can still use it.

How Are The Maps Generated?

The Map Generator takes advantage of the Photoshop action feature.

Basically actions are little scripts that you can record to help with performing tasks in Photoshop. You can also export and import them, and so share the action with other people. The Map Generator Bundle consists of 8 of these scrips:

• 5 map styles.
• 1 typography.
• And The Random Terrain Generator uses 2.

What each script does is it runs through a series of steps that I’ve pre-recorded into them. These are similar to the steps I would take if I was drawing the map for you myself. However now you can do it as many times as you like by just running the action. The beauty of these actions is that you can create a map in about 10-15 minutes with a few clicks.
