Hello brandor :)

Yes, you can do all of that.

I recommend the Tome of Ultimate Mapping as a reference book that contains all the technical information you will need to do the job, and this forum as the place to ask for freindly and usually accurate help and advice.

Not that I'm aware of. The climate data for Fractal Terrains doesn't take Coriolis, wind or geography into account, so I don't think anyone has ever used it that way. The most common use is just to indicate general climate.

For the first point - was the original a CC3 map? If it wasn't then you won't find the style ready made somewhere in our stock of styles.

However, you have accurately surmised that it wouldn't be too difficult to make something similar. That would mean picking and mixing different elements of different styles, like for instance using the tree symbols from 'CC3 Mike Schley Inks Overland' and creating drawing tools for the rest of the aspects.

The only thing you might find a bit difficult to emulate is the dotty fill. The rest is more a matter of setting up the correct line styles and making drawing tools for them.

On the final point - are these maps copyright by the artist? That's not a problem if you create your own for personal use, but paying someone else to copy them may be a problem if you haven't got permission to reproduce them from the artist.

Well, today's progress is quite un-pretty compared to that, but this is a sewer after all.

Much more work to do to make things look solid and real, and I'm not really sure about the paving slabs either side of the channel.

It's very early days yet, Ricko. I'm experimenting. Yes, bricks had occurred to me, and so had rounded 'corners' at the edges. These things will come soon.

And here is that same boring background stone being used as a background texture for possible rounded floor edges.
