  • Marine Dungeon 2

    Julian is right about the 2 part annuals. It's not actually possible to do all the work in one issue due to the time limitation. Even though the style is done in two halves it doesn't make sense to generate 2 separate folder systems and two separate templates when its all the one style.

    I don't recall the two parts of MD ever being sold separately. If an annual is done in 2 parts those two parts must be part of the same annual. It wouldn't be fair to expect someone to buy 2 annuals just because they happen to like that one style.

  • Blending

    In the bottom map you have a slight issue with the text being a bit invisible against the trees. If you add a white Outer Glow to the TEXT sheet it will wipe out the trees just around the letters so you can read them better.

    (The text sheet will need to be under the parchment sheet, so that the white simply disappears)

  • A Question about Political Borders

    If you are using a drawing tool to draw the polygon it might be restricted to operate only within the map border. No need to redraw anything. Hide everything but the sheet the border is on and use the move node tool |CC2DYNEDIT| to pick and move the nodes beyond the map border sufficiently for the visible part not to show within the map.

    The first move might be guesswork, but when you show everything again you can adjust the new positions of the nodes you have moved. You hide everything the first time you move them so you don't pick anything else that happens to be aligned with the map border.

    Have you done the EDITSHADING part of it all on page 6? If you didn't they will be different shades depending on which way around they are facing.

  • TUTORIAL: How to make paper curls in CC3+

    Following a couple of requests from people wanting to know how to do one of these:

    [Image_6764]

    I have written a tutorial to describe the process, and attached it here as a pdf document. I have also attached the example FCW file used in the tutorial.

    Have fun!

  • Searching for symbols for WW2 and modern military vehicles, artillery etc.

    Hi Ute :)

    It's Sue Daniel here ;)

    Though I very much doubt that it contains anything you don't already know about, there's a thread that Remy Monsen created which lists all the available free stuff we collectively know about here:

    https://forum.profantasy.com/discussion/10443/free-symbols-artwork

    You might get lucky if you Google the required symbols - most people who sell them have to make the rights pretty clear up front, or have to put up with a constant stream of questions.

  • White Boxes, Black X's on my map

    Open the Symbol Manager and pick any of the red X symbols. Then click the List button. The resulting blue box will contain the filename and location about half way down. That will give you the subfolder name, which should at least infer which asset pack may be missing or misplaced.

  • ProFantasy is looking for a web developer and graphic artists

    No. It's a serious comment.

    This is my dream job.

  • WIP Goldenlilly Dungeons

    That grey overlay...

    Have you considered using a nearly black one and adding a Blend mode set to Multipy and about 15-20% to that sheet?

    The reason I say nearly black is because a true black one would probably interract unexpectedly with some of the dark glows. The darkest grey, or the darkest brown should be ok.

    EDIT: You might also want to put a Blur on it after the Color Key and before the Blend Mode to take out any sharp edges.
