Hi Everyone!

In tomorrow's live mapping session Ralf will be showing us how to use the Modern Atlas style from the Cartographer's Annual Vol 3 to create a world map with FT3 and CC3+

Come along and join in, or watch later :)

Oh no!

It's horrible when your system goes down. I hope you get it sorted out soon!

Ok. I think I have got the colours mostly ok, bearing in mind they have to blend with the existing amphora.

I haven't done the broken ones yet because I might need to retexture them again if I can't make them work properly.

In this screen shot I've laid out the rendered draft symbols from Blender on the carefully scaled reference diagram in Affinity Designer to process them further - add dirt and stains. I can't go as far as to make them real like the reference images on the right, or they just won't work with DD3, but I'll see what I can do. DD3 is very colour saturated, which means my amphora have to be equally bright, rather than more pastel like the photographs.

It looks like there may have been several ways of stacking them. It may have been different for each type of amphora.

I found this article quite interesting as well.

If the client is pleased, that's good :)

Well, maybe the eggs I've done can be dragon eggs?

Ok - varicolour eggs ;)

Just hide the SCREEN, BACKGROUND, MAP BORDER (sometimes called a similar name), and FRAME sheets, and grab the whole lot in one selection box.

If there is a lot of stuff being moved it is quite normal for the screen to slowly flash as it continually refreshes the moving parts no matter how many moving parts there are. It won't crash, though, unless you get impatient and start clicking things to try and hurry it. The larger the map to be moved the more stately the speed you can do it at.

This is the setup to create a collection with your new symbols in the Symbol Manager when you hit the Options button.

Have you made your new symbol catalogue?

If you have, and until Remy responds on the settings thing (which I never use), you can open any catalogue you like just by hitting the folder button at the top of the symbol panel. Be sure to open the catalogue file, though, not the actual folder with the images in it.

Catalogue files are .FSC files.
