StormWolfe 556 Share Posted February 18, 2020 If our coterie picks back up, I will add discussions for working with Inkarnate and other map-creation applications. This topic will be Wonderdraft specific but we won't kick you out if you have other maps to share. So, I have a new graphic display drawing tablet which has made working on my site's maps a real treat! I mainly use Wonderdraft and Photoshop. However, Inkarnate's new interface and updates are incredible. I am considering using it for my city-maps because the symbols are so much nicer than Wonderdraft's. I have not decided on that yet. Here is the first of my regional specific maps for my Chronicles of Aereth sword and sorcery RPG. At a glance, I think I need to fix the trees and maybe increase the scale of the mountains. Someone somewhere went to sleep and dreamed us all alive. Dreams get pushed around a lot, and I doubt if we'll survive. We won't get to wake up, dreams were born to disappear. And I'm pretty sure that none of us are here. ~ None of Us Here by Jim Stafford ~ *your one-stop RPG resource site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veino 26 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Oh nice. Are the new Inkarnate icons for the free version or the pro version? And I think the mountains are a pretty decent scale, looking at the map.

StormWolfe 556 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Thank you re: the mountain scale on the map. I am not sure about which of the new icons are available with the standard Inkarnate version. I have the pro. But they did some awesome work for the new release. I really like Inkarnate's UI better than Wonderdraft's, but Wonderdraft has the upload and download features that I need and you can trace map outlines as well. I will probably use Inkarnate for some of my detailed town maps because their house and castle icons are so much nicer than Wonderdraft's. Someone somewhere went to sleep and dreamed us all alive.

Veino 26 Share Posted February 25, 2020 You're welcome! And it looks like it's probably in the pro version. The free version still has the very basic ones that I remember and ended up not wanting to use. I also picked up Campaign Cartographer 3 for its Cosmographer/space mapping. Need to see what CC3+ has for city icons. Not done a lot with it yet. Aure entuluva! Day shall come again! - The Children of Hurin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormWolfe 556 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Campaign Cartographer is a new one for me. I'll check into it. It might be one of those that wasn't Mac compatible. That's where I ran into mapping software problems. I confess, I am hooked on all of Wonderdraft's features. It's great for a person with zero artistic talent.

Veino 26 Share Posted February 25, 2020 It's a much older software and isn't free. Don't remember if it has the possibility of working on Mac or not. I've never run a macbook. Ahh, yeah. Wonderdraft does have some that are far more intuitive and manageable than the rest. Aure entuluva!
