  • Changing Palettes

    You can get the default palette back again by clicking the colour swatch on the properties bar at the top, and then clicking the "Use Default PAL" button.

    Remy Monsen covers palette management in some detail in this blog article here:

    Details on how to save and reload palettes are near the end of the article.

  • Project Spectrum - Part 2

    @WeathermanSweden Oh wow! That's seriously cool! I didn't know you could tag people like that! I only just found out that Remy has updated the forum already to allow full screen shot pasting direct (see above).

    I learn what I need to know about CC3 from this forum and the PF staff. And I learn everything else about other apps by searching for apps that will do specific jobs, then watching YouTube videos ;)

    ngPlant (the software I am using to model the trees and speed up the process a bit) is available here: http://ngplant.org/

    There is a YouTube video, but I can't seem to locate it right now.

    My goodness!

    What a lot of interesting information. And after all that I'm not even sure if I will have time to do any of these extra things, but we shall see.

  • Seven Kingdoms map updated

    A very tidy map :)

    Quenten is right about the rivers into the lakes. It's just the one coming out of it and heading for the sea (or the next lake in a string of lakes) that should only be just the one.

    I only have one suggestion, and even that is only a matter of personal preference. Please ignore it if you like your maps really tidy, but sometimes forests look a little more natural if they thin out towards the edges. With the effects you have on that sheet, however, creating the thinning out by adding small patches around the larger ones might be a little tricky and could make the map look spotty if you go too far, so it is only a suggestion.

  • Help with Snow/Ice Terrain CC3+

    If you choose to make your own drawing tool, Ookakiba, this is the easiest way to do it.

    First, with your Mike Schley map open, click the crossed hammer and pencil button ringed in red on the left. It will open the 'Select drawing tool' dialog, which shows all the drawing tools available for this style.



    Click the Advanced button at the bottom, and from the list of tools in the left panel select a tool that is closest in behaviour to what you want from your new Ice tool. Here I have picked the 'Terrain Default, Desert' tool. Then click New.



    A smaller dialog will open allowing you to name your new tool. I generally stick with the defaults and just change the name at the end (as shown) so that the new tool will appear in the same place as the rest of the terrain tools. Click OK.



    So you have a new drawing tool for your Ice, but it's still showing desert fill (or the fill of the tool you chose to use as a pattern for the new one). Click Properties on the right above the image (1), and change the fill to be used to Ice_MS (2). Then OK the properties dialog (3) and Save your new tool with its changed properties (4)



    Then you should be able to use your new Ice drawing tool just like you use any other drawing tool, though you will have to locate it each time by clicking the Hammer and pencil button.
