How Do You Create Cliffs On a City Map

jacolantern · April 2020

Hey everyone, I am just starting to play with the cc3+ to learn how to create city maps and I am trying to figure out how to make a walled keep on a raised cliffside at the city's edge overlooking a river. I used some overland symbols for cliffs, however its quite clear the perspective changes from top down view to isometric with the overland symbols. Does anyone have any tips to handle this sort of mapping? I have played with contours a bit but was not happy with my limited trials.

Here is a picture of what the cliffside looks like, still very much a WiP.

I simple use the Bevel Effect. Normaly I use two sheets. In the lower one I use the texture/colour that I want and in the upper one I draw the same polygon (I actualy just copy it) and use a Bevel plus a Blend effect.

The best discussion I've found on cliff creation was Cliffs Perspective Tricks? started by ScottA mainly because of all the resource links you can follow. It's not a simple topic but many people have tried to address it over the years.
