You're welcome :)

Remember that what I think is right is only what I think is right, and not necessecarily right for everyone. This is just my own method for imposing a texture over a whole drawing (or in this case symbol)

A simple hollow rectangle shape might suffice as frames, but you could hand draw them... I'm talking about drawing them in CC3, not as part of the symbol... with the freehand tool instead if you are looking for a more rustic feel.

I think you've got the general idea for the smaller symbols.

I discussed this with Joe Slayton yesterday, Mo, and there doesn't appear to be a way to do it within FT3 (well there is... and there isn't... but its ugly - according to Joe). As @Quenten suggested on the FB Group page there is no reason you can't cut and paste continents from different worlds in CC3, and doing it that way might be a lot easier.

However, you would have to be careful not to move an imported continent around too much or the map projection will break rather badly. If you exported the maps in an equirectangular projection, for example, you could move it horizontally, or reflect it either horizontally or vertically across the equator to switch hemispheres, but that would still limit you rather badly.

Looks like a pretty excellent job to me :)

Hi Everyone! :)

In this week's Live Mapping session Ralf will be demonstrating the Isometric Cities style from the 2007 Cartographer's Annual

Come along to see how it's done, or watch later if you can't make it :)

All the recorded Live Mapping session are available on the Profantasy Channel page here:

I like that a lot better :)

You are just awesome, Remy :D

That's wierd! I'm not having that issue myself, even though I archived the whole set of originals before installing the published set to have the same as everyone else (and to be able to see things like this when they occur).

I will investigate...

That looks better!

You can thank Remy for helping me with those textures, by the way ;)

If you mean to make them look like they are floating you could combine the bevel with a drop shadow. The longer the drop shadow effect the higher up they will look.

I would talk to the printer and ask to see some samples. Any printer worth the money will have a set of the same image printed on different media.

For your part, I would make sure that you aren't about to print anything that is too enlarged for it's own good. For example, a lovely bitmap mountain symbol might look fantastic on your screen, even a pretty big screen, but if you print it ten times the size on a piece of paper it will look fuzzy, or pixelated, because there is always a limit as to how large you can print a bitmap fill or a bitmap symbol. A3 and sharp is better on your wall in a nice frame, than A2 and all blurry and pixelated.
