Maybe the solution is to use TRACED on one symbol, and then delete the symbol and make a new vector symbol from the tracing. Then you could make them as transparent as you like and use other effects on them too.

Thank you, both :)

I tried rounder hills, but they jarred pretty badly with the extremely sharp mountains, so I made them more pointy to achieve a smoother transition. They grade to lower and smoother, so it is only the larger hills that have pointy bits.

The style is deliberately slightly cartoonish ;)

It's been a while since I updated this thread. There's not been all that much progress, but I've done some new hills and I was wondering what you all thought about them.

Hello Primo, and welcome to the forum :)

Rather than jumping in with more than is necessary before you know very much about Campaign Cartographer, the core app (CC3+ on it's own) would be sufficient to learn all the main tools, and get a good idea of the quality of the artwork assets too.

There are the main add-ons, like Dungeon Designer 3, City Designer 3, Perspectives and Dioramas, and the Symbol Sets, 1 through 5, other add ons like the Castles and Temples, and the biggest collection of all - the 15 year's worth of Cartographer's Annuals. These are all displayed on the Profantasy webpage so you can get an idea of what each of them can do and decide what to get. There are also free samples of the annuals available to try out, and a lot of other free stuff you can get here:

Meanwhile, if you decide the core app isn't for you, then it's not so much trouble to claim your refund within the first 14 days if you wish.

Enjoy your mapping :)

You could search for "Anvil" In the Symbols folder, but I'm not sure if there is one.

If not you might consider downloading the free third party assets from Vintyri. I remember someone else wanting an anvil not so long ago and a comment on that thread about there being one in one of the Vintyri distributed sets, but I'm not sure which one it might be. I have a suspicion it might be the Dundjinni collection. All of the Vintyri sets are really huge. If you go that route you will want to pay close attention to the installation instructions in the guide that comes with the installer.
