High quality Sosaria maps

**Tabbitha** · 15th July 2007, 12:49 AM

source UO Pictures

I'm working on the art assets for my next flash project, the

first of which requires me to create a high quality map of the

original world.

I had a google for some, but could only find the oh so common direct .mul rip.

So, I have given myself the task of manually redrawing the

entire thing ontop of the template using UO assets.

It's going to take about an 80 hours investment to complete,

but I felt I should share a few little pieces I've finished.

These are first passes, so the final will include some more cleaning up and definition.

The first is the theory test for trees and islands which includes an example of the original sharpened and defined before clean up.

Ice isle, a theory test for mountains.

And fire isle, a culmination of all 3

I'm happy to get some feedback and general impressions,

anything you think could be impoved, and any ideas before I

move onto manually applying these to themain continent.

I'd also like to hear if anyone else has attempted the same

thing before and what techniques they used to do it.

I have no drawing talents,and leave it to folk such as above.They are beautifully done so far,Noxin, and I cant wait to see the next batch.

It amazes me the wealth of talent we see on forums,and wonder why EA do not commission some of these folk to complete a work such as this for the game.

What is UO Assets? Can't you make generic trees, rocks etc and just photoshop them?

Noxins the old free server dood right? Legacy 25?

Hanse Davion · 16th August 2007, 09:44 AM

Aye, thats one of his works. He also had another shard before that which I had the pleasure of being a tester on. Mans a veritable legend for things like that, and his guilds contribution to Publish 25 (the only publish in years which actually improved the game, of course since then EA have done their own thing again), and how he hasn't been contracted to work on UO is a question not likely to be answered.

Great maps though
