  • Recommendations for a mapping set/settings to use for a large snow-covered city?

    The fills associated with any particular style only usually load automatically with that style, so you would not expect to be able to access DD3 fills when you have created a map in one of the CD3 styles.

    Remy Monsen shows how to import specific fills from other styles into your current map individually in this Live Mapping Session here:

    There are other ways of importing fills too. If you just want the whole set from another style into your current map you can either import a map in the other style and press ESC at the moment you are invited to paste it, or you can use Import Bitmap Fill Styles in the Tools menu. The first option is faster if you only want to import the fills from one other style. The second option is faster if you want to import all the fills from several different other styles.

    An important thing to note here is that importing the fills only gets you the fills, not the drawing tools of the other style. If you also want the drawing tools to go with your imported fills you will need to pick them from the Drawtools style dropdown box at the top of the Drawing presets dialog (which opens when you click the Drawing Properties button |CC2PRESETS|on the top toolbar)


    EDIT: Ninjad by Remy, but we seem to have worked together without realising it :)

  • [WIP] Cliff City B&W

    That looks better.

    The new cliffs seem to be needing some kind of cap to them, like the rocks the city is on, to stop the shadows showing where they should not. I would treat them just the same as the rocks the city is on in all respects.

  • Live Mapping: Sailing Ships

    Hi Everyone! :D

    Tomorrow, Ralf will be using dungeon and floorplan tools to create a sailing ship deck plan, revisiting an old Annual issue from 2008.

    Please feel free to come along and join in the fun.

    Increasing the strength of the shadow?

    You've got it mostly ok already, but just imagine that you have laid the mountain down on its side like a gigantic fallen chess piece. the shape of it represents the shadow it might cast. You might see that there are more jagged bits at the top of the shadow.

  • WIP: Manor house (problem with walls)

    I am not sure I fully understand what you mean about changing it all into lines.

    If you mean that it turned everything into zero width lines, then using Change Properties to give them back their line width should have worked fine.

    Anyway! I'm glad you got it all sorted out :)
