41 - The Old Cartographers' Guild Hall and Administrative Quarter [Robbie]

[Mouse]

Trees can be a bit of a pain. I think GLS is going to have to take a chainsaw to some of mine. I've drawn them in a bit from the perimeter, so that we don't end up with any weird looking half-trees

[Pixie]

I just added part of your section to mine as well, Robbie, to reference as I draw.

And.... Jesus, holy compass, that's huge
As for the trees overlapping, it's not just fine, it's perfect. And I bet I suck as much as you do in drawing trees, let's not damage both our reputations by starting some competition

[Robbie]

Yeah, it's a big beautiful building, lol. I'll be updating the 3d model to match it and probably rendering out a scene of I get the opportunity to.

For trees, we'll figure something out. I'll just assume there's trees down there and if we decide on any pathways we can coordinate that later.

I also need to add DarkInfinitys section to my map so I can make sure we match ok.

still just fooling around for the most part. Tried my hand at hand drawing some buildings even. Added some texture and some shadow...still early though.

This time its a png with transparency for the trees if that helps RedRobes with integration...if not I'll stick to jpg. Pixie you can also use my trees...i just found a tree brush and set angle, size, and spacing scatter.

Thoughts?

Edit: I wanted to mention even though I've masked out my border, my final piece will also be a regular map with border and legend and cartouche and such.

Wow this is look really nice, do you see your district overlooking mine? I'll have mostly residential building and a college bumping up against you. I'll update shortly. Nice job!

[Redrobes]

I dont need transparency and I would flatten it to JPG like anyway. Your on the big map Robbie. I made up the mask and so if you keep the same size image then I can update it easily with the massk image I have for your sector.

BTW - your map is looking good !

I believe I'll be overlooking your pumping stations so I'll probably make an overlook there.. In 41 now so I'm one of your northern neighbors instead. If you want to remove those trees from the edge of the cliff overlooking the pumping stations I'll put some kind of overlook. I imagine people would love to see it instead of hide it behind a tree line.

Thanks for the compliment redrobes. I only did transparency for the trees but perhaps we can come up with a better solution for blending tree lines. I'm open to suggestions. Even if it involves working with my neighbors to share snippets. I'm working at 400% of what I'm posting, so I can send higher resolution for the final map if needed. I scale it down on export to the same size as the section image j.edward sent me.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

I also need to add DarkInfinitys section to my map so I can make sure we match ok.

Our entire border is a road so it shouldn't bee too bad. I can always add some trees to match up with where you have trees. I just have a farm setup over there in the middle the rest are going to be residential areas.

If there is anything you want to throw in that might overlap just let me know. I don't have a set plan yet, so I can work with it.

Hey Robbie, it's me again.

We share a really big border and the southern half of it is bugging me a little. Most of it is a north-south road, with roads leading to it on both sides. This implies (to my eyes) a certain level of urban density. So, since that area is blank on both our drafts and we both plan leafy broad expanses on our north sides, I would like to propose this:



We could drop the road in the red circle, and concentrate houses in the south (where I drafted those roads - in brown, including a roundabout/plaza)
What say you?

I'm down with that. I'm doing a very simple drawing style for my buildings (was mainly experimenting with hand drawing) but I may go back and use better tools for that. So I think we'll match pretty well, let's do it. If you want to make that roundabout larger and half on mine half on yours we could even do that. If you're working down there you're ahead of me. I've been really sick with stomach flu these past couple days so haven't been able to map as much as I'd like.
