  • Live Mapping: Complex Room Shapes

    Hi Everyone! :)

    Sorry - I forgot to do this yesterday.

    Today, in less than an hour, Ralf will be doing a Live Mapping session showing us all how to do Complex Room Shapes. Please come along if you have time and join in the fun with us.

    @Wyvern - Thank you :) I did two volcanoes the end, and three versions of each one so you could have an active volcano setting without half the map being covered in ash clouds. Since this isn't going to be a huge set I think I might have overdone it at that.

    @Quenten and @thehawk - Thank you :)

    Ok, I admit I have been fascinated by Etna just recently, and I've also been a long-term fan of Kilauea's current Helama'uma'u crater eruption at the summit. I check the webcams every evening when dawn breaks in Hawai'i and the lava glows red for real in the low light. Though recordings of the Fissure 8 eruption in 2018 (recently given it's official new name of "Ahu‘aila‘au") are more impressive than the current eruption.

    @Autumn Getty - I come from a place where there are large tracts of lowland heath not far to the east (since we don't have any mountains in Dorset), so purple is very natural for me, but you can probably do different colours by leaving that fill out and adjusting the background colours to suit :) Colour theory is fascinating, but not entirely necessary for mapping ;) And never be afraid to say what you think, even if you didn't find a thread until late on. A conversation isn't complete if there is anyone who wants to speak but doesn't, and anyway... I find your contributions interesting. Having them gives the thread a more balanced feel - all views are welcome :)

    Thank you! :)

    I think the elven houses are my favourite at the moment, though I did have a huge amount of fun with a slightly over-exuberant volcano this afternoon.

    I quite like the idea of Brightlands.

    Open to more suggestions...

    LOL! Ok, ok.

    So... what shall we call it?

    Any ideas are welcome.
