Description
Here's a copy of the equirectangular map that I use as a base for my cartography. I either use it in G. Projector, QGIS or with the flexify 2 plugin for photoshop as a base that I convert into the required projection and then trace over.Related content

Awesome!
Btw did u create the continents from scratch and randomly per hand, or is there a certain plan behind it?
I ask, because we wanted to create several planet maps and it´s really hard to make logical continents
and good shapes, so I wonder if u have some tips?

Well I came up with vague tectonic plates and them came up with the coastlines to go above it, though the coastlines are all done by hand.
How detailed do you want the planet maps? Just a small sphere or a detailed full world map? If yo only need small plants I found agreat turotial - www.3dm3.com/tutorials/photosh…

That´s a great tut thanks!
It shall be a normal world map and then projected as a planet.

ah not very useful for what you need then. are you trying for a more realistic approach or something more like a map?

That´s the problem, even if I make such an epic topographical and/ or political map like you,
it would be very hard to turn it into a photorealistic planet as well. I have no idea how to do
that in a good way. Ofc I can copy paste with the stamp tool from a satellite map, but it will
be still very random where a mountain range is and how it looks like sadly.

I don;t think it's something you do one way and then change into another, you'd have to decide what type of may you want and start from scratch

no problem. I was sure this was already uploaded here, though apparently not. It's good to show what the base for the maps is

Wow comes to mind. My hat off to you, as I wouldn't have the remotest idea of where to start with something like this.
