I've decided that my spiral notebook is getting rather cluttered and messy so I am going to use this space to keep track of my daily accomplishments I've made on the map, as well as a place to help me keep track of 'new ideas' and things I'm falling behind on getting done.

✔ Outline Completed
✔ Laid Out Designated Areas

May 24-26th ~ Worked on more of the Cold/Frozen Area ✔ ~ Completed Temperate Pine Forests ✔

May 27th ~ Worked more on the West Coast Mts, The FFzn Mts, & The Dark Pine Forest Mts. Found a new technique & needed to take the day to apply it cohesively throughout the entire Mt Range - so that took a days time - worth it!

May 28th ~ Terraced the Mts., Added more Tunnels & Arches. Worked on widening the river for wider bridges, increased more landmasses.

May 29th ~ 1/2 day [going 2B gone early morning til mid afternoon] Plan on finishing up more Mt Terracing when I get home.

May 30th ~ 10am- Working on more Mts, Plateaus, Caves, terracing, and Id like to get to more custom object layers today too.

May 31st ~ Worked on Tunnels & Caves, detailed out the rivers adding little nooks and cranny's, extensions here and there.

June 1 ~ Added Sea Arches, more tunnels, waterfalls - worked on my custom objects

June 2 ~ Organized & backed-up files, did a PC Maint. day [Can take 6-8+ hrs to scan sometimes longer.]

June 3 ~ 9am spending the day working on finishing up custom objects that I need now. Painting terrains that are done.

June 4 ~ Worked on Tree and Plant Layers

June 5 ~ Widening some more rivers, touching up Mts, working on layers more.

* Add fireflies, birds, toads... bugs to specific areas of the map
* Mineral Pools to specific areas to the map

* Work on Mayan Area - Create Tunnels and Underwater Area for a City

June 6 ~ 7am working on map!! 10pm Finishing Up for the Night :)

* June 6th was a great day working on the map!! Today I was able to fix all my custom-made schematics & get them into their proper layers - I touched up the entire Northern Frozen Coast & Frozen Ocean and Rivers are done. Put in a great deal of hours into custom objects; Im just so happy they are finally uploading correctly!!

June 7-9th ~ Late Start Wed. June 7th @ 10am :( Yesterday I managed to fix all my custom Fzn Trees so today Im going to fix the Autumn Trees that have glitches and then work on the Eastern Coastline Details which will lead me down to the Fisherman's Wharf and the Dry/Arid Regions for the rest of this week and pry through the weekend but I will see where I am at on Friday and then touch base with you all again then *Cheers*

June 10 ~ Yesterday I worked on touching up where the Frozen Area ends and the next area begins, I didnt like the transitions there so I spent the greater portion of the day cleaning that up - and then I realized that I don't really like some of the trees so I have a new list of those that still need more tweaking.

June 11 ~ Doctors Appt this morning [so another late start on the map] -- Yesterday I put in a lot of time working on some Biome transitions; so I am picking up where I left off there, tweaking some trees more... Need to figure out World Painter's Biomes - I know painting specific types on top of other types can create very beautiful terrains, anyone know of a good tutorial on this sorta thing?

WHATS LEFT:

* Eastern Coastline Details
* Fisherman's Wharf
* Desert Zone Terrain Details [Obj's Done]
-- Add oasis and palms
* Egyptian Empire Terrain Details
* Mayan Civilization Terrain Details
* Swampland Terrain Details [Obj's Done]
* Marshland Terrain Details [No Objects Yet]
* Bog [Obj's Done]
* Dwarven Dwellings - Not Complete At All :(
* Dragon's Cove [Terrain Done] - Add Details

NOTE: Keep in mind the terrain's for the list above are either complete complete or the terrain just needs some special extra detailing. The devil's in the details... remember that :P Most if not all the objects for each zone are either done or a few need tweaking; which now wont take long at all -- I have the bases all build though some of them need some fine tuning.
