Mapping in 3D

Mapping in 3D is a dialect where mappers turns a map into a 3D perspective. It allows the viewers to view a map from a non-bird's eye view perspective. This dialect is not to be confused with Protoype 3-D dialect. The difference is the perspective for this dialect.

This dialect also involves a sub-dialect, where there are animations in the map. An example would be ships moving around in the water to reach an another location.

How it's done (Photoshop) (Test Version)

 * 1) Take a Bird's Eye view Map.
 * 2) Depending on the map, if you are using a green map, go to select, select colour range and select green, then do Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V to create a new layer with the green map only
 * 3) Take one of the layers and change it's perspective. To do so, select the layer and do Ctrl + T. Right click and select perspective.
 * 4) Pull the bottom right anchor point to the right and bottom left anchor point to the left. Then apply transformation.
 * 5) Duplicate an another layer of the map.
 * 6) Take the bottom the layer and put it below the other layer to form a 3D shape. You may adjust some of its position as some islands may seem off.
 * 7) Then merge the layers and duplicate the layer.
 * 8) Fill in the blank spots as blue for one of the layers. Make sure to have anti-alias on.
