  • WIP city first attempt

    Looks good. The main thing that seems to be missing are effects. Especially the piers look very flat on the water without some kind of shadows and/or glows or bevels to help elevate them a bit.

  • Sea Contour - doesn't work as told (Tome)

    Well, as the Tome itself states in the introduction, it is written for intermediate to advanced users. It does assume some knowledge of the basics of cc3+, and relies on the user having worked through the tutorials in the manual first, and probably worked a bit on their own before diving into the Tome.

    Also understand that the tutorial is written for that particular map in mind, it is extremely difficult to figure out all the ways a user may want to do things differente from the tutorial and reference those, that would also make the tutorial extremely bloated. The goal of the tutorial is to teach the user various techniques based on the requirements for that map.

  • Community Atlas Project - Download information - Contributions Welcome

    So, I put together a video showing how I prepare atlas maps and discuss some of my tools. It is a bit on the longish side, but I suppose it could be interesting for some.

    The sound is not perfect unfortunately, something up with my mic config. I'll get that sorted for my next video, but it is still fully watchable.


    Note that the reason Sue's map was wrongly scaled here was that she though the city was in metric scale, which is quite understandable because it is actually started on a metric template, but the sizes of all buildings and symbols used are in imperial, something I hadn't noticed before the contest.

  • WIP Commission, Ancient Tombs

    The symbol won't update in the symbol catalog when you edit the symbol in the map. Editing a symbol in the map won't affect the global symbol catalog.

    You can click the :ICON_DRAWING: button to have the symbol catalog show the symbols in the current map.

    (Also keep in mind the symbol catalog window does not react to changes dynamically, it only updates when you manually force it to, such as by re-loading the symbol catalog or toggling symbols in map.)

  • Where to look for the CA107 symbols

    Since those two issues are part of the same style, everything is grouped together under the CA106 banner. If I remember correctly, CA106 itself didn't come with any tokens at all, all of those where added to the style by CA107.

    The tokens comes in two varieties, full color, and monochrome. I am not usre why, but the monochrome version doesn't seem to be in the symbol catalog for some reason, but you can find them if you point your symbol catalog window to @Symbols\Maps\Ancient Realms\Sites to load the .png's directly instead of the symbol catalog.
