  • [WIP] Community Atlas competition entry: Ice Cave

    On the left here, the entrance will be marked. On the floor are the remains of some other lost traveler who dropped down the hole. Connecting the two hallways that split off of the two chambers if the hidden den of a remorhaz, who uses the heat from its body to melt thin sheets of ice over the opening to its den. The area to the north of its den is a crevice that opens to a hidden area above, where the creature can leave the cave to hunt.

    Like I said, for me this is really a learning project. I can't tell what is going to look decent in a rendered image, and if this stuff actually looks like ice. I am having a great time with the project though!

    The next imagine depicts an area where the floor has dropped away. To traverse it explorers may be forced to jump from one icy portion of the remaining floor to another. There is still a lot of work to do on this area... depending on the render the floor below is either too well lit or totally dark.

    Here we have a pit in the ice, just off of the dens occupied by our dragon worshiping kobolds. They dump whatever they like down there: refuse or anything else they may not like. Who knows what else lurks below.

    Having a great time with this project so far. Looking forward to sharing more progress and learning from what everyone else is doing.

  • [WIP] Community Atlas competition entry: Ice Cave

    Attached is an image for the current Community Atlas competition. I have never made an ice cave before, so there's a lot of learning going on here. The intent will be to have a "drop in point" on the lower left portion of the map. The natural caverns are full of tight passageways, with a few surprises.

    On the eastern passage there will be the lair of the dragon Frostbite and his Kobolds. Eventually I will be adding a portion with hot springs, which will hint at something warm below.

    I'm new to the community but would love to participate.

    I haven't looked at the community atlas, but would love to do an ice cavern of some sort.

    Thank you for the feedback. Good eye for detail as well. I should have explained a little more before posting. This is a rectangular sections JPEG saved from a larger map. There is a hex grid that is VERY light, which I have matched up onto a hex grid on Roll20 where my players do their thing. The grid is scaled at 1 hex = 1 mile. I didn't feel the need for a scale under these circumstances, so it was intentionally left out for now.

    Good observation on the mountains on the coast. At the time (it was a while ago now) it was intentional to have the overhang, but in retrospect it was a poor decision. But hey, that's the beauty of the software, I can go in and change it!

    In regards to the labels, this is a section that is uploaded for my players online, and they can zoom in as they like to read them. You're absolutely right, though. If I was going to zoom this out to a larger scale I'd either be making the font bigger or removing the font on the smaller landmarks altogether.

    This sort of feedback is exactly why I signed up the community! Thanks again! You will always find me receptive to feedback as I feel like I am pretty ignorant to some of the tools the program as squirreled away.

    I am new to the forum and just want to share some work to get some tips and feedback.

    This map is a small region where my PCs are currently playing. This was save as a JPG file and the resolution isn't super high, but at least it gives an idea of the area. Any thoughts on the map are appreciated of course.

    Seems to be a great community here!
