About Project

This was a personal project to vectorize the GTA V map. The UV map was only included as in the Special and Collector's Editions of Grand Theft Auto V; there were no digital images of it available online, and we were limited to photos of it uploaded by fellow users that had uneven lighting, creases, or other imperfections. I wanted an image I could laser etch and possibly use as a wallpaper, and decided to make my own version of the UV map since no one had made one before.
