Heightmap of Ultima Online’s Britannia and the Lost Lands
James Kidd graciously allowed us to host his programatically-generated heightmap of Britannia and the Lost Lands from Ultima Online. He noted that this may require some work, as the mountains are incomplete and there are some “holes” that need fixed, but it’s a great place to start for a 3D map from Ultima Online’s Britannia.
As with the Ultima V-era heightmap, this is suitable for use as the source for a heightmap in a 3D engine, or even as a piece of in-game art.
On a tangential but related note, there is http://www.mindwerks.net/2013/02/introducing-worldsynth-for-your-world-building-needs/ this tool, which is under active development and open source.
Interesting. I’m going to be making an article about development programs, so I’ll have to remember to add a link to WorldSynth. Thanks
