This time I'll jump into modern blueprints for the live stream. If you ask nicely, I'll even show you how to make greenprints.
If you are logged in, the time displayed in the left forum sidebar should be correct for you. Or you can just click the video above to have youtube tell you. Or if you are a timezone wizard, just convert Thursday October 14th, 18:00 CET into your timezone.

Please, please, dear Remy, will you show us how to make greenprints, pretty please, O viking of the North.
Greenprints?
For gardens and such.
I really like blueprints. I did one for a Call of Cthulhu book I did last year. Looking forward to this one.
30 minute shout :)
Thanks, Remy!
Now, whenever people ask me about how to scale a bitmap correctly for a map I have the perfect video to refer them to :)
@Loopysue - It's a good video for maps where you have one or more scaled items in the part of the image you intend to use.
If there isn't something like that in the piece of map you want to copy, it's worth taking some extra time to construct an image that does have the correct scale in it - which will likely mean extracting and adding the scale into the map image in image processing software before importing it into CC3+. Key element is to ensure the two bits of the image don't get accidentally rescaled compared to one another before making the final PNG or JPG...
And also not to mistakenly cover some essential bit of the map with the scale...
Really appreciated this video. I spent more time than I care to admit manually scaling a subset map. Much easier to use the tools provided - thanks Remy!
