Thank you :)

I think they both have at least this one thing in common.

The only entity on the MAP BORDER layer is a single vertical line on the right side of the Ground Floor map.

I had the same export to image problem as you did until I deleted that line. Then I got this. Looks like I don't have the font you used, so it's defaulting to some kind of system font.

These are the export settings I used, if you are interested.

I recommend you delete that one line on the MAP BORDER layer and try one of the rectangular image export types, so you can define the area you want exported by clicking the corners of that area. If you show the snap grid and activate SNAP you will then be able to reliably export the same area again if you wish.

Here is your second map with that line deleted.

We've done so many live mapping sessions now that we're almost running out of material, so requests (as long as they are possible in the space of an hour) are always welcome, and quite likely to be answered.

At the last count I think there were already more than 200 of them.

I offered to do that once when it was only about 100 videos, but it would have taken a month back then.

If there are any Blender enthusiasts here wondering how I did this without having those wretched virtual diagonals you get with a "Wireframe" material node, I learned how to make a true wireframe by watching this video.

Ah yes, that will happen if the whole world has been exported. If you had exported it at a lower resolution the detail would be even less when zoomed in that far.

Here is a small group of islands on my FT world

And here is the same group of islands on the CC3 map I exported yesterday (when I exported the entire world at Fine resolution).

This level of detail is fine for the world map, where an excess of detail on every inch of coast would only serve to make the map incredibly slow in CC3, and would be completely unnecessary for the world map in any case, with most of the detail being wasted on our comparitively weak human eyes.

If you want a detailed map of the islands zoom in to the FT map and export again to create a regional map of that area using the same Fine resolution.

This is the result of exporting just those 3 islands from the FT map while I was zoomed in to them.

Make sure you have checked the little box called "Send me the monthly newsletter email with any applicable offers" on your Profile tab, and check that your email address is correct. That way you may be able to get it at some point with an offer.

Black Friday is often also a good time to keep an eye on prices.

Yeah. So did I, which is even worse.

Try clicking the Text Specs button next to it |CC2TSPEC|. There's probably a very tiny number in the Height box. Put something sensible like 10 in there and try again.

This week, Ralf will be showing us the latest free symbols for his beautiful Handdrawn Fantasy style, and discussing the use of Bitmap fills versus Symbol Fills for larger terrain features.

This thread will not be monitored during the session, but is a place where you can discuss it or ask questions before or after the session.

To me, FT3 is a way to find and/or sculpt new worlds, rather than detail existing ones. It's quite a lot harder to use if you already have lots of ideas already set in concrete.

It might be easier to start this in Campaign Cartographer by creating a world sized map (each map unit is either a mile or a km), and drawing the predefined parts of the world as simple land shapes using the native land drawing tool. That way you can try out land shapes for the rest of your world relatively quickly, rather than sculpting and resculpting in FT3 several times over, which takes much longer.
