    Post Greetings

    Hi there fellow map-makers!

    My real name is Jasper and i'm 21 years of age. Most of my mapping comes forth from playing Dungeons & Dragons, so I'm not a (wanna-be) pro cartographer, I just like to spend a lot of my time on it . The program I mainly use for mapping is Adobe Flash CS3.
    Why Flash and not Illustrator/Photoshop? In my humble opinion Photoshop is very hard to use to create something entirely new. Great for editing existing images, but not to create new ones. Also when I finally have something in Photoshop, it's a bitmap, not a vector image. That's a great drawback for me. I love to sacrifice some of the beauty of maps in exchange for flexibility.

    Why not Illustrator? I simply don't like the program. I grew up with Flash since it was still Macromedia's property, so I know the tools a lot better than other programs'.

    Oh by the way, I forgot to mention in the beginning of this post that I am from the beautiful Netherlands

    I will post one of my maps in a few hours. To see 'what wood I'm cut from'. (I don't know if that's an English expression, but it is a Dutch one )

    Welcome to the Guild lunanoko! Yes, I would love to see some example Flash maps, and I think you might want to look at this month's mapping challenge. I think you would have a good chance given that you are already in the vector world.
    Bill Stickers is innocent! It isn't Bill's fault that he was hanging out in the wrong place.

    Please make an effort to tag all threads. This will greatly enhance the usability of the forums.

    Welcome, lunanoko - I think you're the first flash mapper we have on the Guild! It's great to have different software used for mapping. Congratulations - you are now the resident expert!
