    Wow... Beautiful! Have I already told you that I very much like your tutorials on www.cartographersguild.com? Thanks for sharing.
  • I very much like the layout of your city Neon. Now if you could find some way to implement elevation lines to give it some sense of height...:)

    Very good work.

  • nice map neonknight. Which add-ons to CC3 did you use to make it? I have basic CC3 right now with no add-ons and want to get started making my town
  • How did you create the air brush effect with your foliage / forest cover? I am sure you used a sheet effect but what did you use to get the dark/light coverage airbrushed look on the interior of the forest wood?

    Technically, the only 'non-BASIC' CC3 image in that entire map (besides the crest which I nabbed online), are the trees which are from CD Pro.

    The buildings were made as a drawing tool, making a solid white polygon and then drawing over that with a solid black line (thickness is I believe 2.5 offhand).

    Other than that, the roads, water, land, city background etc are just polygons, and lines.

    The forests were done by first making a dark green polygon for the main forest. Then I made a second sheet (i simply called it Vegetation Top), and on that sheet I drew Fractal Polygons, just clicking all over the place. No rhyme or reason, and not caring if the polygon crossed over itself or not. I did this with two different colors of a lighter green.

    I then gave it a blur (150) and a transperency (50%).
  • Could you also get the same effect with a cloud transparency fill?....being new to CC I haven't tried this. So effectively draw a polygon with the fill as the transparency and no border line.

    Just a thought.
