Alternatively, you could knock out the white in GIMP and import and trace the black in CC3?

I hope the Darklands works well for you. It is designed to make PS-style land shading easy in CC3 - and no tracing required. If you have any issues you know where I am ;)

Great maps, Autumn :)

I'm curious to know why you leave so much white space around the edges. Is that deliberate, or something that just seems to happen?

Very well done, and in such a limited time :)

That's how we normally do it around here - new WIP, new comment, so there's a story to the whole thing.

It's better than constantly replacing the initial image, which has the disconcerting effect of making the comments underneath it make no sense at all.

Thank you pkfrye :)

I tried that already, but they cause too much interference with the rest of the map, being rather too eye-catching in comparison with the real focus, which will be the ruins on the sand below.

I don't think anyone should ever have to apologise for having a good time :)

Oh snap! LOL!

Not easy is it - especially now they've gone and changed the whole app - again!

I've been relearning everything myself. The hardest bit is probably texturing, and making materials, once you've got the modelling straight. There are all kinds of tutorials on YouTube. I tend to watch at least 3 by 3 different people and then pick and mix the best aspects of each one. I learned how to make wood last week, though I've yet to apply it to a hull, or even attempt a wreck model.

Even 10MB is enough for a fairly large map if you export it right. Use 90 or at the very least 85 'JPEG Quality' and export as one of the JPG options. I exported this map at 4000 pixels on the longest side, and it's only just over 2MB in size. CC3 is pretty good at jpg exports.

Thank you, Wyvern :)

No I don't think there were any further discussions. I've been a bit distracted with the development of Marine Dungeon in the last couple of weeks.

You're welcome :)

Its a personal standard export setup that I've gravitated towards over the years.
