What are your thoughts on this one?

I found it in belgium, its pretty big, i use it for decor.
Its an old school map, that was sold for 20 euro. But i suspect its like 70 years old. Like the details and precision. Aproxximately 2 m x2 m

Horizontal East-Up Pacific Centred World Map

Hi, as the title suggests, I’m trying to find a horizontal, East-Up, Pacific-centred world map, which I naively assumed would be easy to find or make myself. A Pacific-centred world map is no problem, and I could just rotate it so that East is up, but it’s vertical and I need it to be horizontal. If I transform it in Photoshop, it gets stretched out badly and looks horrible. I’ve checked a bunch of websites and apps, but to no avail. Every AI chatbot just hallucinates badly with this task too, so they’re no help. Hopefully, someone can point me in the right direction (no pun intended). Thanks.

Edit: Google Earth and Google Maps won’t work as they don’t zoom out enough or are a globe view.

[COMMISSION] Looking for an artist/cartographer to create a world map for my D&D campaign

Hi everyone,

I'm from Brazil, and I'm currently developing an original D&D campaign setting. I'm looking for an artist/cartographer who can create a professional world map for the setting.

I'm looking for a map that feels like an actual geographical world, rather than a collection of randomly placed fantasy elements.

In particular, I want:

  • Natural and believable coastlines
  • Coherent mountain ranges
  • Plausible rivers and watersheds
  • Logical climate and biome distribution
  • Natural transitions between different environments
  • Deserts, forests, tundra, volcanic areas, etc. placed according to geography and climate
  • A consistent sense of scale
  • Distinct geographical identities for each continent
  • A medieval/fantasy cartographic aesthetic

I already have a detailed concept for the world's geography, climate, continents, seas, and history. I can provide written descriptions, references, sketches, and geographical guidelines.

I'm not looking for someone to design the entire world from scratch. I'm looking for an artist who can take an existing concept and turn it into a coherent, believable, and visually compelling world map.

This is a paid commission, and the work can be done remotely.

If you're interested, please send me:

  1. Your portfolio
  2. Examples of fantasy/RPG maps you've created
  3. Your approximate rates
  4. Estimated completion time

Thanks!

Best program or method on creating a 4k zoom able map for a 3d project

As the title says, I want to basically make a massive map that is able to be zoomed in on to see the details if that makes sense.
