I've since changed Salt marsh plateau to Consolidated salt marsh, and called the third one Salt marsh (not consolidated). I hope that expresses the relative density of the marsh, which seems to have been the intention where the two fill styles meet right here. North is towards the opening of the estuary into the North Sea. South is upriver.
Posted By: LoopysueHello Khornishman! I thought you had the flu?
Glad to see that you are on the mend - I hope.
I do, but I am still going to work and checking emails and here. I'd had a flu shot about 3 weeks ago and EVERY time I get a flu shot, I get the flu after. The nurses deny it, but it happens every time. It's not as bad as it could be, due to the shot, but it's still the flu.
That doesn't sound good at all. My mum has the flu shot, but she never comes down with the flu afterwards. I used to have it too when I worked at a care home. It was part of the infection prevention policy - that all the staff had to have one regardless of age and role.
We get the dead virus shot in the US. You might be getting the live virus as thats what we used to get. And its not 100% effective. It takes about 30 days to build up the immunity.
There are many, many types of flu. The people who make the vaccines make their best guess as to which will be prevalent each season, but they have to do so months in advance to have enough to meet demand. Sometimes, they guess wrong.
Also, from what I understand, it's not all that uncommon to have the symptoms of the flu from the shot, which isn't quite the same as having the flu, but it feels the same to the patient.
Well, I am very excited for what Sue has accomplished thus far. My many stories are bubbling up now that I will have the best way to show their locations.
Trying to decide if I need to shrink the pasture and Salt marsh cons lines down. They feel a little large compared to the rest of the hand drawn ones. I'm aiming to have them properly to scale with each other so that they can be used at the same texture scale in CC3 and match each other's resolution perfectly.
I'm currently nearly wetting myself laughing at the 'dunes' I'm trying to draw. The ones on the map are a lovely bell shape, but can I draw one? Hell no! LOL!
LOL! I am tracing them. Maybe I should stop and try freehand.
I just don't do enough drawing. To be good at it you have to do it every day. For too long I've been concentrating on lots of non-drawing activities.
Never mind. There's plenty of time between now and February. I will practice for an hour a day.
…
I've decided that I need to adjust the scale of those existing fills so that they all look like they came from the same map. Its those two scribbled ones throwing it out, but I think I will make the other's larger. Not sure yet.
My impression from the samples that've been shown here from the original maps, and my own brief forays to examine a few of those originals online, is that the vegetation drawings weren't strongly scaled in the first place, presumably because they were all done by hand as and when needed, so sometimes smaller drawings would fit better into smaller spaces, and so forth.
Of course, it makes sense for the CC3+ version to be better scaled, and from the fill swatch samples, it does look as though the pasture and salt marsh cons ones need reducing slightly (given they're in the minority of completed fill textures with such drawings added).
I struggle to draw freehand curved symmetrical objects too, so can greatly sympathise with your bell-curved dunes problem. Presumably these are for the Unstable Dunes, as the Stable Dunes swatch sample you showed seemed much more, let's say typical CC3+, hill-symbol-like, with the dunes in small overlapping groups too, which often helps hide any drawing imperfections (from experience...).
You are right about the lack of comparative scaling in the original. Some of the same textures across the map may vary in symbol size and density by a factor of 2. And you are also right that the relative scaling of the drawn texture in CC3 is more important than on the original map simply because they will be seen right next to each other, rather than on opposite sides of a large scale country.
You have me giggling now at just how many overlaps I would need to hide all the current dune mistakes! But don't worry - I'm getting better

Its all in the name of the thing.

And that's all I will say on it...

I'm going to have to practice all night.
Maybe not such a great penwoman, though.
I'm so ashamed of them that I can't show you them until I have a perfect one to tack onto the end of the line up.

Scaling fills has always been a problem for me.

(Yeah, yeah, defeats the point, I know!)
Look, will you stop making me giggle. They've gone all wavy now! LOL!
That all looks good.
