    Looks like a pretty excellent job to me :)

    I discussed this with Joe Slayton yesterday, Mo, and there doesn't appear to be a way to do it within FT3 (well there is... and there isn't... but its ugly - according to Joe). As @Quenten suggested on the FB Group page there is no reason you can't cut and paste continents from different worlds in CC3, and doing it that way might be a lot easier.

    However, you would have to be careful not to move an imported continent around too much or the map projection will break rather badly. If you exported the maps in an equirectangular projection, for example, you could move it horizontally, or reflect it either horizontally or vertically across the equator to switch hemispheres, but that would still limit you rather badly.

  • Community Atlas - The Bleakness - Ashburton - Darklands region and Darklands City

    Market stalls were on my mental list ;)

    I think the outcrop shadow you drew there is on the wrong sheet. Try moving it to Outcrop shadow bottom, where it will be blurred and blended properly.

  • Live Mapping: Darklands City

    Hi Everyone! :)

    In the Live Mapping session on 2nd September, Ralf demonstrates the Darklands City style from the September issue of the Cartographer's Annual.

    Book a seat and come and join in.

    Or watch it later, if you can't make it :)

  • Map of a real region

    You're welcome :)

    Remember that what I think is right is only what I think is right, and not necessecarily right for everyone. This is just my own method for imposing a texture over a whole drawing (or in this case symbol)

    A simple hollow rectangle shape might suffice as frames, but you could hand draw them... I'm talking about drawing them in CC3, not as part of the symbol... with the freehand tool instead if you are looking for a more rustic feel.

    I think you've got the general idea for the smaller symbols.
