Experimenting with recreating the Planescape multiverse (2e AD&D) using real-world data. Inspired by Planescape: Torment and its low-poly charm. Just finished my first plane, a Bytopia reimagined from New Zealand terrain. It’s random, but a joy to build.

Day 1: Points.
This will likely be my only map and I've opted to make something for the fun of it, and as a bit of a joke. I'll let the map speak for itself. If one is unable to read the text, it re-imagines New Zealand's topographic height points as stars.

Viewshed raster of incremental viewpoints along the Routeburn track, New Zealand. Turned 3D just for a bit of fun.
The lighter colours are visible by more viewpoints than the darker colours.

Mapping steep and flat relief together can be challenging. Often, one looses detail in flatter areas, like river plains, etc...
Here's an example where I have successfully mapped flat and steep relief, together. Tararua Ranges/Wairarapa region in NZ.

The only part of the walk I was able to do due to heavy rain and track closures.
