New and does not want to make a mistake.

Hey all, this is my first post.

I got this site as a suggestion from one of my friends who plays SimCity 4. They said this site would be ideal for creating maps and images.

Can anyone give me hints on how to design a rather large island nation in the pacific? Sorry if I sound rather stupid, like I said, I do not want to make a mistake.

Well, making mistakes is part of the learning process.

A simple way to make an island is to start with Perlin Noise and a Radial Gradient and plug them into a Combiner. Add erosion to taste. Viola! Of course to get nice beaches and such will take a bit more work. I’m sure you can find plenty of macros here to assist in that regard.

or use Radial Gradient as mask input for Perlin Noice.
