  • Birdseye Continental - style development thread

    @ScottA - Oh that was a ring of mapped symbols. I was checking the map file worked from all angles and made a circular array of the same mountain ridge symbol. The symbols do some pretty experimental things as far as having fades all around, which is never done in a house symbol, and sometimes do unexpected things. I will have to check each and every mapped symbol the same way so you don't get any weird effects just by rotating one a little bit.

    I will make a crater symbol.

    @Don Anderson Jr. - Unless you count tundra as a kind of desert itself? How is a desert defined? Extreme dry? Extreme heat/cold? Anywhere the plants and animals have a hard time?

    Both are available. The desert is drawn on both sheets, so you hide one and show the other.

    I'm messing with the colours. I made all the tree textures darker and adjusted the rest of the textures to fit.

    An improvement?

    Personally, I'm not very keen on the red desert alternative, but it's a real thing. What do you think?

  • Best approaches for tree shadows?

    I can't tell you how CC4 will do things, as I'm only involved with the DD4 art assets, but in my opinion it would be reasonable to suspect that what works in CC3 will also work in CC4 - whatever else it may do.

    You can get an idea of how roughly I traced them if you hide the trees and turn off the sheet effects. Then you will see the black polys I drew.
