Very cool! It's free to download, right?

Yes, and it's totally worth it! 

Hahahaha I read the title of this wrong

Anyway cool
I have Gimp downloaded too but I've never really bothered learning how to use it

I love Gimp. I'm no artist, so I won't post my products, but it's very useful.

Just made it now

Yayyyy

If anything does THIS put you off camping?

Is that all you had to do to get that?

To generate a good topograph,

filters > render > clouds > solid noise

when you have your solid noise map, draw a tiny tiny tiny (1 pixel) black dot in the corner of your image. Grab the "select by color" tool, click the dot (zoom in), and zoom out to see what area is selected.

If you want more WATER (selected area), set the tool's "threshold" to a higher number. Click the dot again, and zoom out. Repeat this until your desired water area is selected.

Go to:

color > colorize

set the color to a blue, and darken it slightly.
now do this:

select > invert

now your land is selected, go to colorize again, and set it to green.

select > none

NOW FOR THE 3D

filters > map > bumpmap

set "Azimuth" to 90

play around with the other sliders until you like the result!
