Question about creating a map with FT3
Hi! I'm learning how to use Fractal Terrains 3, and have a question about how to make a specific kind of map. Any suggestions from kind souls is accepted 
My goal is to create an ice world that has a band of water ocean around the equator; the rest of the planet is covered in ice. I have already used the drawing tools to draw the Temperature band. It is also shown correctly in the Climate view. However, when I try to apply "Lighting and Color" and "Image Climates" from Terraformer to see my world with different tones for the Ice and liquid water parts I can't see that way. My guess is that I am misunderstanding the impact that Climate and Temperature views have on the overall view, and that there really is no way to see my world with a band of ocean color along the equator unless the Altitude of the world changes.
So please, if maybe I'm not getting the concepts right, help enlighten me. Thanks! I am enclosing the screenshots for my world as it is now. First the Temperature view.
