Pyramid of Shadows

This is an amazing set, Sir Knight.

May I ask how you did the lightning? I do not think I remember this from the standard symbol set...

Ah, the lightning.

Actually it is quite simple:

1: I created a sheet I called LIGHTNING (I know pretty sneaky huh )

2: Chose color 143 for the lightning, changed my line thickness to 0.3 and used the Fractalize path tool to just draw some lines, which I converted to curved lines with the FRACTALIZE TOOL: STRAIGHT TO SMOOTH. Changing the line thickness to smaller witdths I drew other lines as well.

3. I then opened the SHEET EFFECT tool and for the lightning made the following effects:

GLOW 1: Mode Outside, Color R255, G240, B155, Strength 1, Blur 1
GLOW 2: Mode Inside, Color R 255, G 255, B 0, Strength 1, Blur 0.1
GLOW 3: Mode Outside, Color R254, G 37, B 31, Strength 1 Blur 1


Just playing with these options you could make a mondo cool Whitish BLUE lightning:

MAIN COLOR: 15 (White)

GLOW 1: Mode Outside, Color R 26, G 16, B 227, Strength 1, Blur 1
GLOW 2: Mode Inside, Color R 104, G 95, B 255, Strength 1, Blur 0.1
GLOW 3: Mode Outside, Color R10, G 223, B 255, Strength 1 Blur 1

So, I cannot suggest this enough. Play with the SHEET effects. They are cool, and can do some awesome stuff. Think of something you want to do, and then think of how you can use those sheet effects to emulate it.

Good Luck

Thank you VERY much!!!

I did not imagine that it was that easy (thought I would have to export the picture to a raster program to achieve this...).

Hey Neon Knight,
I was going to have to make a lot of maps for these modules til I found your threads. The maps look great and I'm very glad that you went through all the trouble to make them and then were gracious enough to share them.
Thanks a ton.
