That's the point I used to turn the 2D map back into a globe, so the globe is a little off.

You can project the entire globe and then crop out any portion of it that you want.) While working on latitude/longitude lines for we realized the center point we were using was off. (It doesn't have to be the center of the map you end up with. An azumithal equidistant projection works by picking a center point-the one that equidistant azumiths are taken from. Thankfully such a feature was added to so at least there's that.Įdit: We have since realized that the projection used for this was just a little bit off. Unfortunately, last I checked it looks like the measure distance feature is broken. Click that and enter Roshar's radius (about 5663 km) and it report the distance between two points you select. (if comparing with the Oathbringer map, typical lines won't line up right because Roshar uses 200 "degrees" in a circle) And play with some other tweaks, like lighting.īut my favorite feature is the "Measure distance" button. Under the "Options' menu you can toggle longitude/latitude lines. The continent is a bit smaller than Asia. It's possible that ice caps exist, (seems like Yalb mentions tales of a southern ice cap?) but I haven't speculated on that. Brandon has stated that there are no other major landmasses. To anybody not aware, yes, Roshar is mostly ocean. I've positioned it at the appropriate latitude, with the equator passing through the center of Kadrix island. With a bit of patience I finally discovered a way in QGIS to mark coordinates on a raster image and have that program pump out the equirectangular projection! Didact identified the map from Oathbringer as an "azimuthal equidistant" projection while the "Map To Globe" site I used required an equirectangular projection. The trick was getting the projection right. The site doesn't work very well on mobile, so here's some images:įirst need to say thanks to u/Stoneward13 on Reddit who created the beautiful high-resolution map that I used for this. The result of that is an equirectangular image, with a 2:1 ratio. This projection is used to project the whole sphere on a flat surface.

Finally got around to something I've wanted to do for a long time. That said, most of the time the software will automatically detect the right projection for your panorama.
