Creating an Interactive Fantasy Worldmap - Region Map and Battlemap combo in FoundryVTT

This video shows you how to create an interactive fantasy world map using Foundry VTT. This video is part of a series where I build a fully interactive world with Dungeondraft, Foundry VTT and my custom assets.

this is amazing, loved the map.

[@sertaki]

This is great work, I will definitely use an interactive map like this in some capacity now!

[@Robi_Bobi]

omg, this is perfect

[@jonsuper4799]

Amazing work as always! Have you found that with added complexity foundry becomes more PC-hungry and you get reduced performance?

[@CrossheadStudios]

I've only had it once in a file filled with animations that weren't size adjusted. I think if I do proper file management I can keep performance high, I think that's really key in foundry

[@andrewhenry4827]

This is awesome what were your dimensions for the world map?

[@jannikkimjensen1433]

WOW how did you make the world map?

[@sadisticflicks4216]

how do I add the patron assets to foundry vtt because I don't know how to add dropbox things and when I add the link of packs it won't work

[@Ancient-Origin-Of-Our-History]

can you export the map and use it in a personal website? or the animated map stay in foundryvtt?

[@DiceRealmDnd]

I can not find how to create transparent tile. If I disable it visibility, then it can not be activated by click

[@achchibli]

Can i export this to game maker?

[@Razumen]

Which tier do we get these on?

[@CrossheadStudios]

The Crossland Foundry world is available on the Crossland project where I am building this world with a couple of other artists under the Manor Tier.

World map using dungeon or wonderdraft?

[@Qefx]

Its all cool and dandy, but half of my players (2 different groups each week) can barely load the basic stuff... sometimes they have pings around 15000ms... yeah.... animations is a no go, so sad about that though :(

[@CrossheadStudios]

Is that mainly cause of the animation or other issues as well? Because I have been thinking of creating a second version of the world as optimized as possible for online play by obviously taking out the animation but also possibly crunching the map quality to the lowest point to get the lowest latency

[@Qefx]

@@CrossheadStudios Its.. everything's. But yeah, as soon as you enable animations, players with low end PCs / Notebooks cant play anymore.

[@inyourfacegaming7221]

How bad is it ? I was thinking of getting it but didn’t want to buy something and it not work. I liked the map of ember hold.

[@elpine1108]

Cool video, but I gotta give some feedback on your mic. It sounds like you're speaking in an auditorium, tons of reverb

[@necrobaku811]

what is the name of this software?

[@oz_jones]

Foundry VTT

[@krakenunbound]

You did not create this within Foundry VTT. You used 3rd party programs and then imported it into Foundry.

[@lobobanguela6349]

But isnt that pretty obvious?

[@krakenunbound]

@@lobobanguela6349 Not when it says in the title "creating... in Foundry VTT." The simple fact is you can create that exact map and display it just like that for any VTT. Nothing special about Foundry.

[@lobobanguela6349]

@@krakenunbound Foundry isnt a map making tool. Yet you stil have to make the maps you create using map making tools blend together and interact with each other inside the foundry itself. So no, the title isnt entirely wrong. But you have your own right to be all mad about it.

[@gibocvh392]

Thats super cool! One question though, what asset did you use for wheat fields? What tier on Patreon is it accesible with and in which pack?

[@CrossheadStudios]

The Wheat fields should be available in the Seasons Pack under the patterns
