  • How to install CC3+ on a different Drive

    Hi Calibre :)

    Please report this issue to Tech Support. It's not a good idea to start moving folders around without technical advice.

  • CC4 Overland Development Thread

    Here's an idea I had the other day - to paint everything in Artrage. First I tried a grass texture, which unfortunately will have to be redone because the paint was too thick and left odd lumps.

    I've added a couple of Mike Schley mountains for scale, and the previous unpainted and very draft mountain I did a couple of weeks ago. If I go down the oil painting route for the whole style, the resulting maps will look like detailed oil paintings.

    Please ignore the funny lumps that look like I threw a bucket of dust at the canvas, and let me know what you think?

  • Live Mapping: Cosmographer Satellite

    I'm not sure. Maybe we should ask Ralf tomorrow.

  • change background colour

    Oh I see.

    The polygon on the WALLS sheet will have to be scaled using SCA.

    The reason resize is set up the way it is, is because it's intended as a way to adjust the drawing area available for you to draw on - like extending the flaps of an extending table to spread the things on the table out a bit more. It's not actually a scaling tool for the contents of the map.

  • Inverse Shape to make an Ocean

    The template has a Color Key sheet effect on the WATER sheet, so if you draw an ocean that covers the map, and then move your land shape to the WATER sheet and use Change Properties to change the fill of that land to Solid and colour 6 (magenta), the land shape will cut a hole through the water to your land.

    I drew one here for you, using the Sea, Island drawing tool (which does the same thing)

    Then hit refresh (CTRL+R) to see the result.

    Ralf's demonstration of the style may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE6L4_KjBc8
