  • Symbol Set 6 Isometric Cities Extra Key

    Remember ProFantasy have a 14-day money back guarantee, so you should get your money back without problems at all.

    If you still want to give it away, I would be happy to take it and use for a prize in a future mapping competition. Not planning anything yet, but there will always be one at some point.

  • SS6 - Northern Scar: Village of Orin

    Thanks. I'll put it in queue, but as with other SS6 maps I am going to delay including them into the atlas until SS6 is officially released in case the release version sees any changes from the prerelease.

  • Live Mapping - Cemetery

    I am going to need a cemetery battle map soon, so why not dive into it in a live stream. Nothing like working on a map for actual use.

    Stream will go live on Thursday at 18:00 CET as usual. Check the upcoming section in the left forum toolbar for the time in your timezone, or click the video below to have YouTube tell you.

  • Invasion of Warlock

    For abstract symbols like this, there aren't any correct scale to draw them at. So what I usually do is to place another symbol I imagine will be similarly sized down into the map (Such as the explosion symbol from your example above) at scale 1.0, then I use the distance tool to measure the sizes, and then use these measurements as a guide for my new symbol.

    Just remember to always work at scale 1.0 when you are creating the symbols. If you place down the guide symbol at scale 0.1 and measures it and creates the new symbol based on that, the new symbol will be 10 times too small.

  • Quick Village SS6

    In the eastern part of the village, I needed the palisade wall to be at a slightly different angle and so just rotated it by 15°. This however throws it off kilter compared to the other sections... it looks like it is leaning inside. Do not know how to adress that one.

    Unfortunately, that's a limitation of isometric symbols in any style. They can't be rotated (and still make sense). CC3+ is just a 2D-mapper, so to create a 2.5D style like this, symbols have to be drawn in a special way to create the illusion of three dimensionality by building the perspective into symbol image itself, but that also make the symbols only work when they are oriented the way they were originally drawn.
