Thanks everyone for the comments

Barliman · April 2012

That is a really beautiful map.

Simon Rogers · April 2012

This is an excellent map. Looking at the detailed map on the Guild site, I'd say that you need more inner edge fade on the textures where the sea contours meet and perhaps rescale the forest texture.

How can I rescale the forest texture?

Modric · April 2012

Very nice. I like how the water turned out.

Mateus090985 · April 2012

I am working a little more on the map. Tomorrow I may put a new and even more "almost done" version

Mateus090985 · April 2012

Posted a new version on the first post. I hope you enjoy how thiss have developed.

EDIT 24/04/2012:

I want to put some undersea cities. Do you guys have some good sugestions for sheet effects (for these especific symbols that will go their own sheet)?

Edit the fill style.

1. Click on the Fill Styles Indicator, the Bitmap Fills tab, and find the texture on the Fill Style Name pulldown.
2. Reduce the Scale Width and Height (maybe to 50%) and OK.
3. Try again until it looks right.

Thank you its turning a lot better now!

New version on the first post. I rezised the trees, and others fills, add two more regions, corrected some rivers and achieved a satisfactory effect for "undersea setlements".

I hope you enjoy.

Posted version 1.9 on the botton of the first post. I hope you enjoy the modifications.

Thank you

Excellent map indeed Mateus! Great shape, great flow of symbols. One of the best I've seen using Jonathan Roberts style! I really like how you transitioned the textures. The rivers are excellent as well. Did you make your contours in PS?

Thank you for your kind words. My landmass I generated on Fractal Terrains 3.

This map is awesome looking. How did you do the sea colors to achieve that set of various depth appearances?

Mateus090985 · May 2012

I used the meduim blue as the background. Then I draw in diferent shhets the darker and the lighter using a poligon that I later fctalizated (+ 40% / 10). For the "pools" I put tehn on two more sheets above the others and aplied a Edge Fade Inner and e texture for each sheet.

CorinTack · May 2012

Another question, which pack did you use for some of the different symbols you have (cities, trees, etc.)? I especially like the way those trees blend with this map style, and I'm wondering where you got them from.

Mateus090985 · May 2012

Here are two screens of my sheet order and of the Edge Fade parameters.

Here I explained part of the process of creation of the map: http://profantasy.com/rpgmaps/?p=1470

If anyone is interessed, here are all shileds in the map

Here is a PREVIEW of the version 2.0, but I am still working on it

EDIT 03/09/2012: Old link. See first post for the most recent one.

Mateus090985 · May 2012

Ok... if you see my map in the link above you will see that I started to decorat it. All images are png, but now it seens that CC3 stop recognize them... even if I go to an earlier version of that map all imported png from my personal symbols folder (I have not moved it) appears in this way.

Can someone help me?

JimP · May 2012

When my maps do that, the path to the pngs is messed up. Generally what happens to me is I accidently move them, and then the map loses track and shows red Xs.

Monsen · May 2012

Are the images imported relative to CC3, relative to the map, or using an absolute path? If they are relative to the map, then moving the map can cause this.

Otherwise, check the path of those images to make sure CC3 looks in the right spot. If they are simply images in the map, use list on the entities directly. If they are imported as symbols, open the symbol manager, select the right symbol there and click the List button (Warning: Sometimes this crashes CC3, save your map first if you have made changes). The list output should tell you where CC3 tries to find these symbols, make sure this is correct. (Because the way Win Vista and newer handles file systems and writes to the program files directory, if your symbols are store inside program files (or program files (x86)) directory, make sure you can open them from inside the running CC3 instance (For example by using Draw --> Insert File), and not just by using windows explorer.)

Mateus090985 · May 2012

Thank you. In the end I really messed up the path of the symbols somehow. Now i fixed it

. I will post the 2.0 version some time in the near future.
