  • Help with crash while exporting

    I can't even open that one, Roflo. It crashes CC3.

    Remy says he had the same problem.

    Time to contact Tech Support I think.

  • Looking for advice on coastlines and reliefs

    I think the bevel is cancelled out by the blue line. Is that another sheet effect or the coastline? Try hiding that blue to get a better idea of the bevel.

    The best way to work out what effects work for the way you want your map to look is to play with them until you find the right combination.

  • Help with crash while exporting

    Disabling antialiasing reduces the overlap CC3 usually uses between passes to make the stitching smoother, so you litterally 'missed' the problem building because it doesn't fall within the rendered area. That's how I was able to render it myself. Setting the AA to 16% must have been just small enough to miss that building. Consequently I wasn't even aware it was a problem until Remy tried it.

  • Tent symbols for a tent city in my cyberpunk map.

    Making your own tent symbols is relatively straight forward if you are happy drawing them. They need to be png files with transparent backgrounds. The only tip I would give at the outset is not to include guide ropes. They tend to be a bit problematical with sheet effects. the shape of the canvas suggests them well enough.

    If you want to make them respond to the global sun like house symbol rooftops do, then I recommend reading the section describing how to make City symbols starting on page 407 of the Tome. That covers the important bits about making map files to control the way the symbol is shaded.

  • Forest encounter area - Forest trails + SS2A

    You're welcome :)

    I've just noticed how low your JPG quality settings are. That probably isn't helping the appearance of the map. The default is much higher than that and will still produce a relatively small file. Try about 85% and see if that helps.
