I got a response from HistoryMarche a while ago about how they make their cities and maps, I think they said it is all drafted up on photoshop, like was said in this video, and I've recognized some assets in their videos being directly from Inkarnate
Oh really? I did look up Inkarnate on how to make maps on my own - limited by the free version I didn't get far with it. Do you use the software a lot then if you recognise the assets?
@@ThomasWhiteX Lol I do not actually use Inkarnate that much aside from its free version, but I recognized a lot of the same building models used in the battle maps - though whether they also use Inkarnate or source it from a mutual database I don't know. There's a mapping program called Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator which has a ton of tools to custom mapping that I prefer in that regard - though probably not the absolute best suited for European history maps (comes pretty close at least). Great video by the way!
Thank you for this simple high quality video and all the info in the description. Epic History TV is fantastic and their Napoleonic Wars videos are glorious.
Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback - I added a bit more to the description if that's any help. Epic History TV is amazing, I didn't know anything about Napoleon till I watched their series - their Belisarius videos are fascinating too.
Nicely done Thomas - I know some of the guys at K&G, Epic, and the guy who does History Marche is a buddy of mine. You’re spot on - they use photoshop to generate some of the maps, Epic gave me the website for Blue Marble which is great spot to get NASA sat images, and premiere / af is a great software for animation. One thing about HM - he does his own maps - he’s a total beast when it comes to his work. If I may make a suggestion - You need to look into House of History and Hikma History as well. Amazing content as well.
Thank You! That's so cool you know the teams from other channels - must be useful! It's reassuring I got some of it right haha. Blue marble sounds interesting too - I do remember coming across that in my research but I'll have to revisit it. Id love to use af / premier for animation - maybe for when I'm monetized. Crazy about HM though! Making all the maps from scratch in such a short time - really surprised about that. He is a beast for sure. I'm more than happy to take suggestions - I will definitely look into them. Thanks again - the help is truly appreciated.
16 years ago I recreated the battle of el Alamein with Power Point, overlapping squares, rectangles, circles, lines etc... and using its animation tools. I also used "the battle" by H. Zimmer from "the gladiator" as soundtrack; for some reason I had found a file with that song in my second (or third?) hand laptop. My teachers and classmates were amazed and I had 10 minutes of glory.
Incredibly based video, I've been wondering for a long time and honestly a tutorial on how it's done would be quite cool, especially using DaVinci Resolve. Otherwise flawless video man, new sub for sure ^-^
ive been doing my maps in the worst way possible, i find a map from that year and then meticulously recolor the entire thing, and then if borders change i just draw it in myself or have my friend do it... thanks so much for this, it will certainly help me make better content in the future!
Thought I'd weigh in as a RUclipsr who's used multiple of these processes. Yeah, the NASA world map is really good, especially because of how high-def it is, although for closer shots I would often use other images. I use GEOlayers now, which is really good for zooming in and not having to trace out every country by hand (though be warned can be a real pain to work with sometimes [and slow]), but something else I would recommend is WonderDraft. It's a (paid) program generally used for things like fantasy maps, but it works very well for an old paper map aesthetic. Channels like Embrace Historia are really good examples of WonderDraft in action.
Didn't expect to see a big channel show up! Thanks for weighing in with your experience - its a big help. Nice to know you use the same software and assets. I found channels like Overly Sarcastic Productions used Wonderdraft so I'll definitely include that in the next video. Love your videos btw - I'm an avid watcher. If you wanted to collaborate on a video on this topic - I'd love the opportunity. Thanks
As a history buff, this is what is frustrating about RUclips history. It's a very technical genre. I love hostory and would enjoy making videos about it, but doing so would be about becoming an ace animator and editor, not researching and discussing history.
I absolutely agree. I've found it's very time consuming to research the material for a video and then to edit and animate takes several days. It makes sense why history channels hire out their roles like animating and researching for this reason. If you'd love to make videos on history though I'd encourage you to at least give it a go :). Since you like researching the history though that's already halfway there. I've learnt a lot from making these videos and I'm getting to a point I could make my own but the research is another constraint.
As others have said, I've always wondered this myself and I am interested in making similar maps for personal use someday, thank you so much for this video. Subscribed.
Hey mate, really great video! I'm the artist who made lots of the background maps for Kings & Generals fantasy channel Wizards and Warriors. If you do a followup video I'd be happy to explain how they make the establishing world map shots!

I’m not familiar with which program k&g use for their maps, but i am familiar with how they know the outlines of cities and towns featured in mostly battle maps. From conversations i’ve had on youtube with the team they have told me that for cities like Rome the outside walls are still visible to this day and can thus easily be thraced, and for smaller towns featured in battle map it’s mainly artistic guesswork. I’m pretty sure that HistoryMarche and Epic History TV do the same.
The creator that makes K&G maps reached out to me so I think we will find out soon. Thanks for the insight as well, that sounds realistic to base it off.
@@ThomasWhiteX cool! K&G’s membership program allows for easy chatting with the people running the channel in the comments of their video’s, so if you’re interested in further insight you could ask them there too
@@ThomasWhiteX Sir, I was just kidding. Actually you replied in your last comment that "I will add it to the list :))" That's why I asked that where my request stands in your list? 😍. Thanks
This is awesome! Will there be an actual tutorial on how to make a video like it though? Like highlighted different countries, etc.? I would love to see the Davinci side of this too.
My question is where do they find the accurate borders of states (past & present), and implement them on their map to scale? I've always asked myself that question when I watch historical timelapse videos like Ollie Bye for example. P.S. thank you for making this useful video :)
I have an idea where they would look. Check out 'David Rumsey Map Collection' for some historical maps. If you're looking to do it digitally I'd recommend watching this video on how to do it with Geolayers :) ruclips.net/video/-Dc_CGoXZIc/видео.html Thanks for watching, glad it helped!

I have a history channel where I'm making map shorts. For now, I am hiring animators to do the work, mostly on a blend of Blender and Geo Layers/After Effects. I'm studying 3D animation using iClone 8 and CC4 (not a blender fan) as well so maybe in a year or 5 I can really create high quality videos.

@@ThomasWhiteX I’d say adobe animate has a simpler ui and would be easier to learn but I’ve stopped using it and moved to toon boom because in my personal experience Adobe was very clunky and things always went wrong.

Also I wouldn’t say I am aiming for a specific style I’d like to aim for my own I just want to learn how to move the maps around and stuff, but if I had to choose maybe oversimplified.
Hi, I'm asking for advice, I'm interested in learning how to create videos from modern times and maps. Like The Military Show and the Kings and Generals fight. What do I need to create which programs? Thank you
I mentioned most of then in the description :) Depends if you want to pay for software or prefer to try using free versions to start with. I’d probably start with finding a map on Wikipedia and then editing on gimp/ an editing software
They do a lot of research to understand the boundaries but as with most things history its a bit of a guessing game - you might notice a lot of channels use a soft/blurred border if they arent sure. I also have an idea where they would look. Check out Geocron and 'David Rumsey Map Collection' for some historical maps.

@@ЄгорКовальов-ь6н I had another comment about this. I’ve searched for it and couldn’t find the one they use, their team also haven’t responded to me. The search continues
@@ThomasWhiteX Thank you so much for your help! One more question though, what is the best way to animate maps using After Effects without GeoLayers 3 or any paid plugin?
@@harrington8 what style are you looking for? I’d say a nice way to represent invasions is using a shape layer and revealing territory as time goes on. Check out this video as a place to start: ruclips.net/video/HYGYcfF-Sz8/видео.htmlsi=Jl43-4cS0J2b69qu
@@spanishroyalty1254 ah I knew I’d miss out some, sorry, just done a bit of research and he definitely uses after effects but I’m unsure of the actual maps - very similar to history-marche so likely the same as him
all these animators completely redraw global maps. These maps have a very high resolution. perhaps they are splitting the global map into parts. Otherwise, the global map file would have a huge size.
I agree - I think they are custom maps at high resolution (maybe 8k or higher) - still a large file size but I expect they have a good computer to handle it

okay, good to know - I might try my hand at toon boom then - cheers for the recommendation.
Good to know as well I'll aim for that in a new video.
@@ThomasWhiteX well toon boom and adobe are more for traditional animation like drawing and cartoons, but have fun if you want to try that out
I guess it will depend on the story I'm trying to tell :) thanks for the help!
I want to know how you did that map animation in DaVinci resolve. Can you please make a video on how to make one of those?
I can definitely make a video on that, of course👍
You gotta do more man
I'll try! Anything specific you wanna see?
My question is lowkey how they draw the borders corectly on the world map
that's in my other video ;£ hope it helps
Hi, I'm asking for advice, I'm interested in learning how to create videos from modern times and maps. Like The Military Show and the Kings and Generals fight. What do I need to create which programs? Thank you
I mentioned most of then in the description :)
Depends if you want to pay for software or prefer to try using free versions to start with. I’d probably start with finding a map on Wikipedia and then editing on gimp/ an editing software
What about possible history or addizpro
I haven't actually seen those channels, I'll have to look into them
2:22 got scared asf lol. Was wearing headphones
sorry!
mistake not to be made again
@@ThomasWhiteX nah its chill it was funny
@@messithegoat6142 that’s a relief
How do they make their borders accurate?
They do a lot of research to understand the boundaries but as with most things history its a bit of a guessing game - you might notice a lot of channels use a soft/blurred border if they arent sure.
I also have an idea where they would look. Check out Geocron and 'David Rumsey Map Collection' for some historical maps. If you're looking to do it digitally I'd recommend watching this video on how to do it with Geolayers ;£ ruclips.net/video/-Dc_CGoXZIc/видео.html
How do they do the 3d animations of 2d
what do you mean?
This is the best
Thank you!
What about Knoledgia?
@@ЄгорКовальов-ь6н I had another comment about this. I’ve searched for it and couldn’t find the one they use, their team also haven’t responded to me. The search continues
Do you have an idea how GeoGlobleTales makes their videos?
@@harrington8 looks like Geolayers 3 as they are using Bing maps and ESRI for the base
@@ThomasWhiteX Thank you so much for your help!
One more question though, what is the best way to animate maps using After Effects without GeoLayers 3 or any paid plugin?
@@harrington8 what style are you looking for? I’d say a nice way to represent invasions is using a shape layer and revealing territory as time goes on. Check out this video as a place to start: ruclips.net/video/HYGYcfF-Sz8/видео.htmlsi=Jl43-4cS0J2b69qu
What about @Knowledgia create his videos
I'm still working on that. They haven't responded to me but hopefully I'll find a way :£
What about BazBattles
@@spanishroyalty1254 ah I knew I’d miss out some, sorry, just done a bit of research and he definitely uses after effects but I’m unsure of the actual maps - very similar to history-marche so likely the same as him
I really want to learn how kings and generals and history marche makes their video, it least AiTelly
AiTelly?
@@ThomasWhiteX yes its good
@@ThomasWhiteX do check it out
@@QamruddinKhan-hf4dn I’ve never heard of that, what is it?
@@ThomasWhiteX you tube chan nel
please drop the davinci resolve tutorial bro 😭🙏
I'll definitely be making one. On the animation I made or like one of the creators I mentioned?
@@ThomasWhiteX honestly ill take anything at this point but id prefer davinci since its the software most people have
I'll get to work.
I have a guestion. How does the channel "World war two" make their maps?
I've done some research and I've found how some channels similar to world war 2 make theirs - they use blender and gimp. Could make a video on it?
@ThomasWhiteX nah there's no need for a video. I was just curious.
I subbed
@@kadenzelmer 🙏🙏
1:50 yeah, do it.
@@MorrisJohn-vo2vn 🫡
all these animators completely redraw global maps. These maps have a very high resolution. perhaps they are splitting the global map into parts. Otherwise, the global map file would have a huge size.
I agree - I think they are custom maps at high resolution (maybe 8k or higher) - still a large file size but I expect they have a good computer to handle it
YOOO NICE
please do a tort
Coming soon
What about knowlegia?
I’m waiting for a response from their team, they do make cool maps though
Why do you reply to every comment?🤨
@@afnansaeed00 people asking for help and it’s just polite really, builds trust too
@@ThomasWhiteX nice bro
Will you tell me free something where we able to do besic something
sorry what do you mean?
what about history matters?
Good point - I'm planning to make another video covering a few more.
Cool
do you know how to make shorts or videos like Saddam hossain?
Like what?
@@ThomasWhiteX watch his channels it usesu are my enemy but it uses the animation map too i need help to make videos like that on pc
@ I know that he uses geolayers and after effects. Costs over $300 and I don’t have access to that I’m afraid.
ah yes, neat
you’re handsome
@@oliverwortley3822 why thank you
I wanna know pls
@@Unknown-yz4ji how to make a K&G map?
cool but i already make oversimplified like animations.
@@nevanyt you do a good job! Would love to hear some narration as well
@@ThomasWhiteX i am working on a script : docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQYilWwHYSd-RcxV4z9f29g4y_fDSjIZ2Oyt6AfeiseKsY4v9ZWqo011ta7Ue2PBwmzgYuSInqSRYot/pub
Good work, I'm guessing some of that text will pop up on screen and some will be spoken?
@@ThomasWhiteX yea
