FT3 Climate Shader

Special Issue ’11

As the June issue of the Annual 2011 was released to the general public for free, we provide subscribers with a second December-issue to round out their subscription. This special issue contains a set of climate textures for use in both Fractal Terrains 3 and CC3.


CC3 Climate Map

17 seamlessly tiling bitmap textures created from real-world satellite photos let you both display FT3 worlds in a complete new look, as well as create a whole new style of climate maps in CC3. The mapping guide explains how to use the textures in either software.
