A super quick update. HILLS!

Again, thanks @Loopysue for pointing me to the solution.

I copypasted the effects on the "hill" sheet of SS5 to a sheet on my map and tweaked the size of bevel and fade (those are set to HUGE due to the map type). The main thing to take in mind is that the hill effect is obtained with a light grey solid fill. So, following the suggestion you can see in THIS recent video (thanks @Ralf! Your livemappings are always inspirational) I made a new Hill tool (which i called "Terrain, Hill3D"...) to get something in SS4 similar to the one present in SS5.

I found that having a couple of "hills" sheets on different positions (and with some differences in bevel and fade) helps in giving a less homogeneous surface. There are probably better solution for that, but this is a simple and working one. Below a snapshot of the map with the effects off:

And now the map with the effects:

News steps will be:

• Add some green to the stones to simulate some moss (with a texture effect?)
• Probably add a couple of extra ruins and fix them.
• Add threes and bushes (and a path?)

Oh, this is the symbol I used as inspiration (from the Trudvang RPG manual):

And actually,

This is the result after the rounding operation. It worked beautifully!

Thanks @Loopysue!

Wow!

Thanks (especially to @JimP ?)!

And super congrats to everyone who participate (especially to @Autumn Getty)!

I am happy people liked my map and that motivates me a lot! I'm looking forward to do more mapping ?.

Wow... Super nice maps!

And I learned a lot out of them, too!

Some changes and a new map.

I changed a bit the first battle map, adding a small tower, some details here and there and a bit more darkness.

And below the new map (again a night map) to be used as location for RPG. It is "Runa's Hut", number 7 in the village map. It is a very simple use of SS4. I tried to add some lights to simulate fireflies. What do you think?

(UPDATE: I did add some - probably too small- yellow dots close to the lights of the fireflies. It looks well in CC3+ but the final result is not much different, unless suuper zoomed in. I'll try to do slightly bigger spots ??)

Below the CC3+ files.
