One of our viewers asked if it was possible to align the field fills with the fields. Yes it is. Some styles have field drawing tools that do this automatically - styles like the Ferraris Style and Darklands City.

1. If you have a polygon of field you want to align, right click the Polygon tool and pick "Shaded Polygon (Angle by Edge)" from the menu.
2. Click the side of the field you want the fill to be aligned with, and right click when finished.
3. Type EDITSHADING and hit ENTER, then check the box called "Shade Only Copy". That will remove the roof shading applied in the moment you used Shaded Polygon (Angle by Edge).

The three stages look like this, where field number 2 shows the roof shading automatically applied by Shaded Polygon (Angle by Edge).

If you want to edit your field use Explode just once to return it to it's former state.

I've been playing around with the colour of the snow, and the way the arctic mountains are presented. Does this look better?

I'm working on a slightly better one than the old wavy pattern, but when I say working on it I'm not sure yet what it will look like.

At the moment it's just a flat colour.

Is this enough texture? There will be hills too, and other fills to mix with it.

Yes, the mountains are now looking a bit too blue, but I'll sort that out as I add more protruding rocky bits.

Things have moved on a bit now. I've given the colour scheme a bit more depth and earthiness and done quite a bit to the mountains.

As always - say what you think. There's still time to change things yet.
