Increasing the strength of the shadow?

You've got it mostly ok already, but just imagine that you have laid the mountain down on its side like a gigantic fallen chess piece. the shape of it represents the shadow it might cast. You might see that there are more jagged bits at the top of the shadow.

That looks better.

The new cliffs seem to be needing some kind of cap to them, like the rocks the city is on, to stop the shadows showing where they should not. I would treat them just the same as the rocks the city is on in all respects.

The fills associated with any particular style only usually load automatically with that style, so you would not expect to be able to access DD3 fills when you have created a map in one of the CD3 styles.

Remy Monsen shows how to import specific fills from other styles into your current map individually in this Live Mapping Session here:

There are other ways of importing fills too. If you just want the whole set from another style into your current map you can either import a map in the other style and press ESC at the moment you are invited to paste it, or you can use Import Bitmap Fill Styles in the Tools menu. The first option is faster if you only want to import the fills from one other style. The second option is faster if you want to import all the fills from several different other styles.

An important thing to note here is that importing the fills only gets you the fills, not the drawing tools of the other style. If you also want the drawing tools to go with your imported fills you will need to pick them from the Drawtools style dropdown box at the top of the Drawing presets dialog (which opens when you click the Drawing Properties button |CC2PRESETS|on the top toolbar)

EDIT: Ninjad by Remy, but we seem to have worked together without realising it :)

Hello DoubleDouble :)

There are all kinds of mappers here so don't worry about being 'too anything'. By that standard I, with my relatively weak technical skills, would be too arty :)

Hello Nevermet :)

Sounds like you have a nice clear view of what you want to achieve. I'm looking forward to it.

I was once told that it was good to have a decent area to fight in. I don't know how true that was, but the gamer who wanted more space to play around in was very satisfied with my modifications, which meant I had one reasonably large room.

What is the scale here? Some indication would be good. Either a grid or a little white square to show 5 or 10 ft square.

Hi Everyone! :)

This week, Ralf will be showing us all how to 3D model our symbols

Come along and join in the fun.

I use a combination of different software depending on the workflow, but I won't go into detail here on a suggestion thread. Suffice it to say that I use Affinity Photo and Designer for about 80% of everything I do, as far as making new stuff goes. You don't need both, though. Photo will do.

That's useful to know. Thanks :)
