Hi Everyone! :D

This week, Ralf will be starting a large and ongoing city mapping project that will stretch over multiple sessions at irregular intervals.

You can watch it right here if you like:

Or if you prefer to come along and join in the chat with us on YouTube:

Thanks Fersus :)

I think I can do that without too much trouble.

The basic idea is a forest trail with a secondary focus on ruins.

Hi Everyone :)

I've just started working on a new style called Forest Trail, which is due out in November as an issue in the Cartographer's Annual. I thought you might like to see the strange little world I work with when I'm just starting to work out the colour scheme and the textures. A mixture of serious business with the texture swatches, and play time doodles with borrowed symbols from other styles I've made.

It's loosely related to Creepy Crypts, but with a brighter more cheerful colour scheme, and should include ruin bits, and of course lots of tree parts.

I'm nearly there with the cemetery stuff now. I just need to do the wall and gates to go in that blank bit near the bottom.

Each of those bands is a pass made by the rendering engine.

You can use wider passes by typing the command EXPORTSETMPPP and hitting return. The command line will tell you the current Maximum Pixels Per Pass, which at default setting is 4000000 (4 million without commas).

Try typing 40000000 (40 million), hitting return, and trying your export again.
