Modern Resources
Hello all. I have been playing with CC3+ for a bit now, following the books, and just plugging along. I am working on my first non-book project: I am trying to build a modern oceanfront town and interiors. I have the Modern Symbol Set, but was wondering what other resources there are, including the Annuals. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated :)

We don't have much in the way of specific tower block symbols at the moment, but quite a lot of city styles are pretty much time neutral in the sense that a tiled roof can be a medieval tiled roof or a modern one. You can also use the House tool to create simple flat rooftops and add details to them to indicate more modern skyscrapers. Sometimes a simple rectangular polygon will do, with added details and appropriate shadow casting sheet effects to make it look like the top of something tall.
Another option is to find and import third party symbols available on sites that sell those kinds of assets. This is easy enough to do. We can guide you if you aren't sure how to do it, or the Tome has full instructions.
I know there is a futuristic.fsc part of city designer. Not much variety, but the buildings look somewhat like buildings you might expect in 2100 A.D.
On my cellphone so I can't check specifics.
I will look into the third party stuff. Thanks for the responses!
There's a ton available on DriveThru. (A lot of it is intended for VTT use, so it tends to be lower resolution than Profantasy's stuff.)
Explore the Dundjinni Archives and ProFantasy's Annuals for additional modern-themed symbols and textures to enhance your project. Consider creating custom symbols using image editing software and join online mapping communities for valuable tips and resources. Mix and match assets to achieve your desired style, and enjoy the creative process as you build your modern oceanfront town in CC3+.
