Inspired by the most recent Live tutorial, here's a quick and dirty rendering of my campaign world in the Cosmographer Satellite annual. Taught myself a few new techniques in the process regarding exploding multipolies so that the land masses brought in from a Fractal Terrains export could be managed separately -- but then I had to rescue the inland seas and lakes.

This is pretty rough. I used the partially transparent forest fill over most of the land as a cheap shortcut. Just wanted to see what I could get done in an hour (though this was closer to two hours).

And if I didn't already share it, here's the "Above" FCW:

Moat is a water fill from Vol 13 but you could substitute any water fill you want.

Don’t worry about Cobble Final. It shows as missing on mine, too. Remy said something about how that shows up and is a weird legacy fill, or something like that.

The Beaumaris Castle fills are from CA 2019 (volume 13). Did you get that one?

On today's Live demo, which was about Sinister Sewers, I asked for recommendations for what to use as a fill style for pure water uncontaminated with sewage (such as water runoff from storm drains). I had been using Effluent 05, but on another Water sheet with a transparency effect. Sue recommended trying one of the Bitmap Solid fill styles.

Here's a practice attempt, with the five effluent fills above and then five on the solid bitmaps below (from Solid 10 Bitmap through Solid 50). The five below are on a Water 2 sheet in case anyone recommends effects different than the regular Water sheet. Right now, I put the same effects on Water 2.

I am leaning towards Solid 40 Bitmap for storm drain runoff (since that water will have dirt and other impurities), and maybe something like Solid 20 Bitmap for pure water (for example, if dwarves are using this technology for a subterranean aqueduct).

Thoughts? (If this is too difficult to see here, I can post it in my Gallery if that has a better resolution.)

Hmmm, I'm not seeing much of a difference, but there's some glare on my screen at the moment. Here they are:

First Edge Fade off, second one on

First Edge Fade on, second one off

Both Edge Fades off

And here's the FCW file:

These are great. I really like how you scaled up the dunes in the Mamede map. It's giving me Lawrence of Arabia vibes!

Yes, thank you! I've seen the first one before but it's handy to have the tutorials all in one thread. Much appreciated!

Very cool!

Looka like we posted threads concurrently! Your Mesoamerican overland and dungeon requests would work well with my Jungle Adventurers suggestion. I would love Greco-Roman stuff. And I’ve been musing on designing a haunted house for Halloween, so your 1920s Horror House idea works wirh that. I love all of your suggestions but those were the ones I wanted to second.
