As I said on the blog post - Mike's artwork on this set is beautiful. It was a real pleasure to do my bit of the backstage work on this, but very difficult keeping it under my hat!

Can you show us a screen shot of the result of using Info on one of those houses?

Still not working for me.

Thanks :)

Ok, well, that's not an easy one. I would pick a style and use it as the style it is to avoid spending weeks trying to modify it well enough to become a facsimile to one of those maps. Using one of our styles out of the box may also make it clear that you aren't copying the original artworks in anything other than actual layout.

With that in mind I guess whatever styles you feel will give you the right mood. Remember that you can do a lot to change the colours of existing map styles by playing with sheet and whole map effects.

You're welcome :)

And thanks as well - I have been rather busy over the last few months. It appears I forgot to update it!

I will do something about that in the next week.

That drawing tool draws a solid polygon of magenta on the forest sheet. Because there is a Color Key sheet effect on that sheet set to magenta, the magenta polygon cuts a hole in the forest fill, leaving the parchment beneath it exposed.

Try it out - draw your polygon around the text where you want the hole in the forest behind it, and then refresh the view.

Oh - I forgot to say.

For it to work you need to have the sheet effects turned on, which is a checkbox at the top right of the Sheets and Effect dialog.

What are trilathons?

I like the idea of a beacon.

A camp would be nice, but maybe a little too much work for the time, bearing in mind I have yet to do the standing stones and the waterfalls, but we'll see.

This may not be the problem, but check that you have the latest installers for all your software. Things that have been lying around in your download folders for a couple of years may not be all that useful.

All installers should be run as administrator by right clicking the installer.

Make sure you allow CC3+ to open at the end of any installation process where the default setting is for it to open, and that you reinstall the latest update at the very end - even if you've already reinstalled it once early on.

This is very true, Joe. If all circles were as perfect as the day they were created I could just put fractalised polys of stone there and give them strange looking shadows, but there are also fallen and leaning stones that can give a much better feel for the nature of all the stones. Well, that's what I hope anyway.
