About

I am building a hand crafted volcanic world using a true 2D heightmap workflow. The entire world is viewed from a fixed 50,000 foot top down altitude with no zooming. The terrain must read clearly, naturally, and consistently from this single viewpoint. The land should feel like an eroded volcanic region inspired by Iceland with soft mountains, ridges, ash flows, grasslands, forests, and scattered turquoise lakes. Your Role You will create a collection of modular subsectors. Each subsector is sculpted by hand in a heightmap environment and must connect cleanly on all edges. Every piece follows the same terrain rules so the world stays unified. Mountain widths stay within our ranges. Lakes follow our size and color identity. Forest density stays within our guidelines. Grassland remains a major part of the world with natural variation. Valleys and natural low points must form clearly through the elevation flow of the grayscale map. What Matters Most Clean elevation flow Natural volcanic landforms Consistent world style Subsector borders that connect in all directions Readable terrain from 50,000 feet Hand crafted heightmaps with honest geography Deliverables • Hand sculpted 16 bit grayscale heightmaps • Matching full color terrain maps aligned to the heightmaps • Subsector borders that connect cleanly in every direction • Soft volcanic shapes with clear valleys and natural passes • Lakes and forests placed within our size and density ranges What to Include When You Apply 1. Examples of heightmaps you have sculpted by hand. 2. Confirmation you can build readable terrain for high altitude viewing. This project is for an experienced heightmap artist who understands natural land shaping and can work within a clear set of world rules. I look forward to working with someone who knows this craft well.
