This is a small version of a map recently produced for Vincent Scientific. The real map will be 6-feet wide and will be used in schools in Belgium and The Netherlands.
For the production of this map, VNS (Visual Nature Studio) by 3D Nature was used. A number of render jobs was set up, resulting in hundreds of small tiles. These were then stitched together into a single image and reprojected using Manifold. Additional layers, containing the inland waters, major cities and country boundaries, were also produced. The final step was putting everything together in a single Photoshop document, after which some minor corrections were performed. Due to the resolution demanded by the client (300 dpi), this turned out to be a roughly 21000x10800 image. The final file was 476 Mb in size.
