  • New project. Historical city detail: Padova. WIP

    Thank you.

    I don't seem to be having any issues with the map itself. Unless Remy or one of the others can find something it is just possible that there is a problem with the app itself.

    You mention attempting to reinstall and/or repair something in the thread above. Have you done that as the Administrator, and have you then also reinstalled the most recent CC3 update at the end of it all?

    I think you might have to contact Tech Support about it because I can't replicate it here on my machine.

    The drawing tool display is slower than you might expect because several of the tools have more complicated display images sourced from a set of mini maps (other very tiny FCW files contained in the drawing tool folder) to help mappers see what they are about to draw, rather than the raw lines and polygons as they would appear without the native sheet effects. Normally, though, this just causes a blinking green screen in the background when scrolling the tools, and hasn't so far resulted in things vanishing the way they appear to have done for you. At least - not on my screen they haven't.

  • WIP: Egyptian Floral Motif Column

    Pretty good for a beginner :)

    Just wait until you get into procedural texturing!

  • Trimming polygons

    You're welcome :)

    I'm glad you managed to sort it out.

  • Representing Cliffs and Ridgelines

    If you scroll down a bit on this article you will see how the very tall and very sheer white cliffs of Dover are shown on a late 19th century map. Generally speaking, the older the map, the more intricate the detail drawing.

  • How Do I Precisely Match A Grid?

    I think this may be the issue here.

    How about making your hexes about 500 times larger than they are and extracting a series of regional maps from this one big one to add the relevant details?

    I'm not sure how many hexes in a hex grid CC3 will reasonably support in a single map, but I'm pretty sure that is way too many right now.

    I was still using 2.72 and bitmaps myself only a fortnight ago, so you caught up with my 15 years Blender experience in a few days ;)

    Yes. I can identify with that as well. The thing about CC3 is that there are so many different ways of doing similar things that its relatively easy to forget things too.

  • Representing Cliffs and Ridgelines

    It might help to explode a couple of them and space them as single entities around those bends, so that the line of them is smoother.

  • Missing Drawing Tools?

    Did you start the map as a John Roberts map, or as another style?
