Dunver - Overland satellite style CC3

ClerconClercon Betatester Traveler
I decided to try out the latest style from this years annual, the Overland Satellite style.
The map is completely done in CC3, except for the labeling that I made in Photoshop (mostly because I work much quicker in PS then in CC3)

I really liked the style, it was easy to work with and the only problem I had was that the rivers came out fainter (then in CC3) when exporting them in Cute Pdf. Don't know why but I increased the glow effect on the sheet to make it look ok.
For a larger version of the map, you can find it on my blog (mappingworlds.wordpress.com)

I hope you like it.

  • I bought the 2012 Annual because of this style but when I tryed it I did not liked it... But you achieved a bealtiful amp here =)_

    Well I liked it, but I must admit that before you apply the effects it looks like s**t. It is also the only style i know about where more is more. The more things you put in the map the better the result. First I just added a few things, and it didn't really look that nice, so i just added in a lot of stuff and the result really got much better. So give it a try again :)

    Folks, your really creating a huge amount of especially nice maps lately. Cool stuff!
  • Very nice map, Clercon!

    Yeah, that's why I'm amazed how folks like Ralf can put together all these little "ugly" patches of fill styles and have the sheet effects make them all work together and form a beautiful map. CC3 with the sheet effects really takes the old CC2 CAD program out of the realm of scientific/engineering objective precision and into the world of subjective art. I highly recommend going through Ralf's maps with the sheet effects off and picking them apart with the Info -> List command if you want to learn a few tricks.

    Thanks for the comments, and Jaerdaph I can just agree with you about the CC3 sheet effects.
  • Cool - and give the fractalise button a try - I think it will help make the landmasses stand out even more. Do a Save As on your original map first though and save it with a new file name in case you don't like the results.
