[WIP] August Competition - The Southern Gatehouse
In the end, alinging the texture on the city wall's walkway was a lot faster that I expected.
First, I realized I could use Offset to convert the thick line into two of my polygon's sides. For the next step, I was starting to go through Line-to-path and then combine, when I realized I could draw a new poly and snap to endpoint.
Now I have to figure out what to do for a border. I don't like my first attempt above.
And I'm not used to borders. But I made the decision to place all floors in one drawing... and now I feel like it's begging for a border.
EDIT...
>> Is it intentional to have the larger street-sized paving stones inside the two gate rooms at street level?
Yes? At least originally.
I'm not sold either. It seemed reasonable when I first sketched it, but it does seem a bit weird.
Still mulling it over.
I think I don't want it to use neither the street paving nor the room paving.

Got it.
Not on my computer right now, but I removed the image from my previous post.
All those interested can visit my gallery if they wish.

Not too fond of the crosshatch, looks a bit weird IMHO.
I'm not 100% convinced either, tbh. Luckily, I placed them in a layer of their own, so I can turn them off easily (at least while I think it through).
Maybe blur would do the trick?
Also, looks a bit weird that the direction of the paving stones doesn't follow the direction of the wall, maybe angle them slightly to follow the wall direction.
...
Could you align the paving stones on the top of the city wall walkways with the wall itself left and right of the towers? This should be possible by making them "Shade Only Copy" shaded polygons aligned to the outer edge.
Yeah, that's kind of in the bucket list. I don't know if I'll be able to finish on time.
Oh, and the city walls are not a polygon. They're a line. A very thick line. With an outline. And since there's no such thing (I think) as a shaded line, I'd have to redraw them. Not the most complicated thing, but I am short on time. Hopefully next weekend I can spare a couple hours to sit down and draw.

What's included in CD3?
