maps in progress

[RobA]

is this a good way to post maps or should I be doing something else

You can either upload them here (using the Manage Attachments button at the bottom of the post, ot the little paper clip button in the top toolbar)

or if they are not too big, just hot-link then using the Insert Image button or the following code:

But that doesn't work well for images larger than the screen...

Attaching them is the best way and the preferred way...sometimes those image hosting sites will delete images that haven't been used or managed over a certain time frame...or sometimes they'll just delete them for no reason. By attaching them through the site, they stay with the site, thus making archived threads more a reality. Plus a lot of those image hosts such as photobucket and imageshack are blocked by a lot of workplaces (mine) so people viewing the site from work wont' be able to see your maps.

Hopefully this is an acceptable method of posting

Please let me know what you think.

That posting style is much better! Hey, with which application did you create the 3-D perspective view?

[mathuwm]

thanks

Adobe Illustrator has some basic 3d tools in it

Better method of attaching.

BTW - how did you make the curved tracks?

A micro tutorial

[pyrandon]

Great "micro-tut", mathuwm. This is obviously for Illustrator, right?

Hey, if you ever feel the inclination, I'd love you to post a bunch of Illustrator tutorials (either micro or full-blown)--I've been wanting to learn it for a long time, but have not yet taken the time. I'll bet others would be just as grateful as I, too! Just an idea.

Take care,
