    This thread about Video Tutorials is one of the curated threads in the Resources category. This topic contains links to external sources, such as YouTube channels. Keep in mind that most of these external resources are not under control of ProFantasy Software, and we take no responsibility for the videos they post in their channel. Note that many channels also contain other videos not related to ProFantasy Software.

    Only this top post is curated, users can use the comments below to provide links to additional channels and videos. Videos/Channels from the comments may or may not be included in this curated post, so browsing the comments below may find you nice videos too.

    Use the Flag link to report out-of-date links in this topic, for example removed videos or channels that now post inappropriate content and should be removed from the list. Don't use it to suggest additions


    Links


    Video Wall

    The video wall below contains links to individual videos in an organized fashion. It includes videos from channels who have approved that I present them in this manner. It does not contain all the videos from the links above. The video wall is broken down into topics. The current headings do not represent all possible future categories, so don't be afraid to suggest something that doesn't fit an existing category. If you have a channel on any video platform and want your videos included in the wall, tell me.

    Learning CC3+

    These videos are basic tutorial videos for CC3+, primarily aimed at users new to the program.

    Quickies

    Live Streams

    These are video recordings of live mapping sessions. There are certainly things to be learned from these, but they aren't nicely edited tutorials with a tight focus.

  • October Community Challenge - Faeridge

    MonsenMonsen

    Nothing you necessarily need, but depending on the detail level you wish to achieve, you could add things like vegetation (bushes/flower/vegetable garden), wagon tracks and wagons, worn trail from the road to the doors, various items (creates, benches, lights, tools), fences, animals, ....

  • Custom rectangular grid - how to add coordinate labels

    MonsenMonsen

    There is a white rectangle outside the map on the SCREEN sheet. Hide this sheet and you can see what is outside. Draw on a sheet that is after this sheet in the sheet order to draw on top of it.

    The primary use of this sheet is to hide things like symbols that partially extend beyond the map border.

  • Help with overlapping maps

    MonsenMonsen

    There is, but you'll need to do some trimming.

    Basically, you just use clipboard copy and use a selection rectangle to mark the area you wish to copy, then paste it into the destination map (Keep an eye on the command line while doing clipboard copy to make sure you complete all steps).

    You can the use tools like :CC2TRIM: and similar to crop lines going out of the area.

    Basically, your procedure is the same as when making a detail map of an area, which is described in this blog article, just a bit simpler.

  • October Community Challenge - City Streets - VOTING POLL in first post

    MonsenMonsen

    I might do that one day. It is actually non-trivial to pick a good atlas city for this challenge. If the city is too large, the navigation links gets almost invisible, and if the city is too detailed, it isn't as fun as a contest because the look of the buildings is locked down already, providing little freedom. Some cities also have a very heavy .fcw file which may not be too kind to those with a weaker computer, so I want to avoid using those for a challenge like this as well.

    I do have a few other candidates though. But I also try to vary the content of the challenges, so it won't be streets next time.
