Land / Sea Fill Textures

[jaerdaph]

What a superb idea. Are all the bmp fills native to CC3 or did you use your own? If the latter, it would be fantastic if you could post a square version of the tiled fill patterns you've used so others could use them too, although of course that's entirely your call.

Thanks! I reposted the file with numbers for easier identification. 1 thru 6 can be done entirely with CC3 out of the box. 7 and 8 I made from bitmaps I found on the net. In fact, I want to experiment more with other bitmaps I've found and I'll post the results here.

What I could do when this winds down is post a zip file containing a CC3 FCW file with all of these as "samples" and pre-set sheet effects so people can pick them apart to see how they were done. It would also include any extra bitmaps I've found (if copyright and distribution rules allow it, of course). Any of the CC3 ones won't need the bitmaps included because they are built into CC3 already. I could do squares but I think the sheet effects will look cooler when turned on if I do fractalized polys. As long as the new bitmaps end up in the proper relative folder structure in CC3, you should be able to insert the FCW in a map as a part (and then undo) and have access to all the fill styles I've created in the new map. I'll include an instructions txt file for all that too.

Jaedaph, after the replies have died down, would you mind if I moved this thread to the 'Mapping Elements' in the Resources section, so it doesn't get 'lost' in the WIP section?

No problem. Let's see where this leads.

Edit: And I need to get better at picking which subforum things should go in around here.
