Create a new Style with new Mapbox Studio
Mapbox Studio is the new map design platform by Mapbox. Mapbox provides great resources for getting started how to design your own maps. This tutorial will show you how to customize the OSM Bright style for Mapbox GL.
Visit the Mapbox Studio Editor and follow the tutorial.
Create new style project
Create a new style project. Make sure you start of a base map that only requires Mapbox Streets. A Mapbox Terrain equivalent is not available by osm2vectortiles.
In Styles create a new style, choose Bright and save your project.
Switch to osm2vectortiles
In the new Mapbox Studio you can no longer specify a TileJSON url of a custom vectortiles server. Therefore it is best to work with the original Mapbox Streets v6 data in the editor and make the switch to osm2vectortiles at the deployment step. This works because our vector tiles are to a large part Mapbox Streets v6 compatible.
Because users have an upload limit for their own data sources you cannot upload the osm2vectortiles world file to Mapbox Studio and style it directly. However if you want to work with the real data you can choose an extract which is quite small (below 100MB) and upload it to Mapbox Studio and work on this sample extract to create your map.
Download Mapbox GL Style JSON
In order to host your own Mapbox GL map you need to download the Mapbox GL style JSON.
Deploy your Map
Once you've downloaded the Mapbox GL Style JSON you need to modify it to work together with osm2vectortiles.
The tutorial how to display a Mapbox GL map explains this in detail.
