Holy shit my brain had a tough time with realizing that the normal map thing where the light part is land and the dark part is water isn't what's happening here ๐
Fuck, I only realized this after your comment. I kept turning my phone all different ways to try to see Europe.
For me it's the opposite, so I sometimes get confused with maps using light for land and dark for sea, although those are rare
Me too, was having a hard time recognizing anything until I started looking at the "water."
