Orde-on-the-Rock questions
Sue,
Was looking at your map "Orde-on-the-Rock", which is just mind-blowing!
I have questions, if you have time/inclination to share wisdom.
The biggest one is how you get those mesas/cliffs? Is that all hand-done poly/path drawing in CC3+?

You are correct. Those are paths drawn with the freehand drawing tool. I believe... since I can't open the file right now... there was a tiny glow or a blur on that sheet to soften the blade-sharp lines.
Also, the shadows being cast by the cliffs/mesas and bridges: are those hand-drawn, or programmatic?
(I understand if you can't answer without looking at the map, and that you may not be available to do so. I am but a humble student in awe at the work of the master...)
Everywhere I look in here there's something amazing... I'm gushing, sorry, I'm just really interested in this piece right now.
Yes, those shadows are hand drawn on an additional sheet. They are black polygons with a blend mode set to multiply and about 10% opacity if I remember rightly.
I will check to see if it is ok for me to upload the FCW here, since it was a map I made as part of a commission for PF - a new example map for CD3.
It really is a gorgeous map!
I'm sorry I can't go into it in too much depth right now. I'm a little tied up preparing another map, but if you have any other questions I don't mind answering them.
