That great! Thanks Ralf :)

Hi everyone! :D

Following from some ideas in last week's live mapping session, Ralf will be looking at using Fractal Terrains-generated material in CC3+ overland styles in tomorrow's live mapping session.

Come along and join in the chat here:

Or watch it here if you prefer, though there's no live chat on the forum.

Mixing styles is pretty tricky - especially when one is a highly refined ink and wash style and the other is photorealistic. It's often less jarring to stick to one style in a map if you can.

It's very much a personal thing, and because of that you may or may not find this png useful depending on what you decide to do. It's a gradient shadow that you could use to make the 'down' appearance of the down stairs more obviously 'down', though it may have the result of making the up stairs look a bit flat.

As for leaving space for the landing - that again is up to you. I have a personal preference for the second image, but other's may disagree.

Lovely :)

A lot of hard work has clearly gone into this. I particularly like the pool.

And Happy Birthday :D
