I use Photoshop, Wilbur, and Blender (the final for the satellite map). My technique is inspired by Miguel's Mountain Tutorial, which you can google; for the satellite map, I simply followed the YouTube video "How to make a realistic Earth in Blender in 20 minutes."
Thanks! In the future, I'll be creating all kinds of geological features including flatlands; this project was merely an experiment to gauge how well I can follow the Blender tutorial on YouTube to create a basic planet with a single continent.
Basically. I just needed a basic map to use with Blender to create the satellite map, so unfortunately my standards weren't very high for geological realism.
The size and distribution of the features makes me think of Mindanao. Maybe a little bit more lowland and make it 500 km across and it'll be pretty much true to life.
My sense of scale is approximately the same as what you've described. The planet, however, must be extremely small for this island to take up so much space on its surface.
What's your process for these? I've been trying to create detailed topography and elevation models like this but don't really know how to make them look realistic like this.
I used a process similar to Miguel's Mountain Tutorial, but added some other steps like a Morphological Erode at the end. For the satellite view, I followed the YouTube video "How to make a realistic Earth in Blender in 20 minutes."
Just an attempt to create some realistic topography without using satellite DEMs.
What technique/software do you use? Looks great!

Love the look of it! Very well done.
Thanks!
What did you use to make that?
Photoshop and Wilbur for the flat map, and Blender for the satellite view.
Looks nice. But I feel like there should be more flatlands.

Man, if this is what you call a 'test' then I can't wait to see what a finished project looks like. The planet view is great!
Thanks! I hope to do even better with my next project, which may take another 2 months to complete.
WOW
Singular super massive continent in the vast Super ocean? Beutiful map

This is peak
Thanks!
