WIP: New Dungeon Commission
Last update before I finish this bad boy, I'm on the home stretch...
Sorted my Gold and Silver leaf fills, downloaded the textures from Sketchup and did some fine tuning in Affinity Photo before adding them to the Bitmap folder and importing them.
Added a'glow' to the gem, might play around with the blur and transperency settings for that, I think it needs to be a bit 'softer'.
The second image includes the hand drawn sketch I'm working from...

Strange shaped Rooms
Hi Inwils,
You're on the right track. The reason you get those weird lines is due to overlapping nodes I believe. The easiest way around this (using your example post above) is to select a drawing tool and pick a starting point on any of the green lines (using the 'On' command) but NOT a corner, then hit T for trace and select a starting point for the trace on the same line but further away in the direction you want to trace. When you come to the intersection of 2 objects end the trace at the interestion, then start the trace again on the same point but pick a starting point for the trace further away on the 2nd line. That works for me 99.9% of the time.
BTW: It's Jim (damonjynx) from the Mythras forums here, welcome aboard!

@JulianDracos It certainly does! Without, it would be very monotonous.
@Ricko Hasche Coming from you, that is high praise indeed! Thank you.
Another little update for this one, nearing completion - just a couple of little errors to fix where I missed some 'ragged' walls and I'm calling this one finished - 3 more to go. Thankfully, they're not quite as intricate as this one.
For the room numbering I used the cartouches from CA25 Fantasy Cities, I think these are easier to read than just numbers with a glow on this map.
