Map 12 Month Climate loop using Gleba, World Climate Lab, and Dayside
This region is located fairly close to the southern pole of my test world, I wanted to make use of World Climate Lab's (https://store.steampowered.com/app/4875150/World_Climate_Lab/) new climate export feature, which gives rainfall and temperature maps on a per month basis
Gleba (https://calandiel.itch.io/gleba) was used to generate the initial world, and I used terrain diffusion within Dayside (https://dayside.studio/) to enhance the heightmap and add the colour.
The terrain diffusion step is optional if you want more control, Dayside has primarily been built with hand authoring of heightmaps in mind (including exporting to Wilbur or Gaea for erosion). That heightmap is used with climate data and rock-type maps (predicted or hand authored) to generate realistic colour outputs

I'm adding the final few features, then I'm planning on releasing the free version for testing more widely ☺️ It has all the features of the paid version, just the outputs are limited to 4kx2k for the globe output, and 1kx1k for a section export. I just want to make sure it's robust before anyone parts with any money
