Soldier Port (Griffon Island)

I'd appreciate a version without building detail for my own campaign.

(Dont use Obad-Hai )

WOW! Nice work, Clarence! This is about the tenth post screaming to me, "learn Google Sketch-UP!!"--and your use is perhaps my favorite so far. Very, very good work! Inspiring, even.

Hats off to you, sir!

Would it be possible to post the sketchup output so we can see what you started with (from the same viewpoint)?

TIA-

Thanks, Guys!

I'll post a map without text. I will also load some Sketch Up shots...

Map sans text...

Here is the Sketch Up model I used to draw the map...

... and some other angles. You can also see the different modes available, but the plain linework worked best for drawing. You can edit the shadows by changing the season and time (or turn them off completely). The program even has texture fills and the like, but they are very basic and I haven't been happy with any of the results using those.

There really is no limit to what you can build with Sketch Up. If you wanted to, you could model each building in detail (check out some of the models from the Sketch Up gallery). I really just wanted a framework to serve as a guide (and I didn't want to spend a year working on it).

Hope this helps!

Much appreciated. I like the way the town is right on, even falling over, the edge.
