    Hi,

    Here is a japanese castle I copied/modified in CC3 (original is the Inuyma-jô)



    (Japanese "lettering" is fancy...)

    Thanks for looking or commenting.

    Looking very cool. I especially like the parchment look and the different "slices" of the castle.
    Not to sure about the text in the lower right corner. It's crammed together and a bit hard to read. Maybe decrease the size a bit or don't make it bold.

    Coming along great. Perhaps some embellishments around the text (and not making it so cramped). It definitely has an oriental flavor and the architecture looks genuine.

    Yes, I agree about the text. Will have to change that.
    Thanks for all the comments.

    Beautiful! If you're looking for an alternative font, there are some nice faux-Asian ones around.. for example Chow Fun.

    Great link, Ralph!

    Here is another version:



    Corrected an error on the east elevation too...

    Absolutely beautiful. Really gives the oriental feeling. I love the side views as well, makes you really understand how the building looks.

    Wow. That's really great.

    Glad you like it... Took me many hours...

    By the way, the roofs, timber and bricks were done with macros... And a lot of trimming...

    Thanks!

    I think that's fab, but I have one comment. The numbers in circles don't match the numbers in the legend in style. I know you want to have them stand out, but maybe you could fake up a numerical method made up of lines and dashes that looks oriental but is possible to read without having to parse Japanese. Something like a gate tally.

    That would avoid having little European numbers all over the castle, but people would still be able to tell what they were. Possibly kanji in a contrasting colour would work.

    Thanks a lot.

    I don't know if it's really a new way. Fast Cad was originally designed for such work I think...

    Even if using the line style was fun, I intend to use this map in play and only give an oriental feel. I thus don't want to guess through odd symbols. I agree that I should edit the numbers to use the other font though...
