Ralf will then be able to set you up with the missing files.

Thank you.

Yes, I will be doing cliffs. The style should be about the same size, and the same range as the basic MS style without the free monthly stuff to start with.

However, since I've only just finished rendering the full set of mountain and hill models from Blender, that may be a few weeks away yet. First I have to figure out the finer points of the style with the mountains as test guinea pigs. Should there be inking? Should they be generally darker or lighter at the top? How big should they be, and what exact colours should I use? Those kinds of questions. It takes several iterations and redrawing the same thing over and over till it's right. I expect you will all be really bored of seeing slightly different versions of the same few mountains before I'm satisfied they are good.

And then I might dive straight into the structure symbols. One of the weak points of my overland styles is that they never have enough structure symbols, so I want to change that by moving them up the list of priorities because some of that weakness is due to the fact that they usually get left till last.

Although... I might need to do the textures straight after the mountains to establish the colour scheme.

Thank you :)

CC4 Overland is only a style, not the app itself. The reason it's called CC4 Overland is because it's intended for release with the upgrade to CC4, just like the mapping style called CC3 Standard Overland was released when CC2 was upgraded to CC3.

Because it's a style rather than the app itself, I imagine that it could be used as easily on CC3+, though I'm not sure if it will be available separately if you don't have CC4 when it comes out. That kind of decision lies in the future.

That's really interesting about the hills and the mountains. Thank you :)

This week, Ralf is back with a demonstration of how to make a map using the March Annual issue - the new overland style "Birdseye Continental".

Come along and learn how it's done first hand and join in the chat here:

When does a mountain become a hill, or a hill become a mountain? I've got all of them now I think.

Thanks for the suggestions :)

Those green mountains in Spectrum were more about matching the terrain details. I don't think I did a mountain background for that style, so there had to be mountains for every occasion. There is likely to be a mountain background in CC4 Overland, though I haven't really made my mind up about that yet.
