So, I've subscribed to the first channel in about a year, and will be watching more. I did watch some a few months or years back, and it's part of what moved me to buy the bundle. That and the chopped price, of course.

I first bought CC3+ about 5 years ago, was intimidated by it, and just tried several of the other softwares out there and didn't even use CC3+. But the fact remains that CC3+ just makes darn good maps and is so versatile. After watching this video, it reignited my interest in trying to learn about CC3+ again. Learning the basics is such a morale booster and and I think I'd just like to use it more often and I know that the more I delve into using CC3+ and I see the nice results, then I'll just want to continue learning more about it. Thanks for making this video. Now I'll head over to the FB page and see what else I can learn!

Very nice overview. I'm used to using Photoshop to make all my maps so some of the limitations as far as knowing how to use this tool got to me for awhile. Watching this really answered many of my basic problems. Still have to figure out how to edit a symbol ie erase half the image while leaving the other half intact. Still, thank you very much.
@JoshPlunkett
@JoshPlunkett 3 жыл бұрын
You can't natively edit the symbols. This isn't pixel manipulation so the symbols are already pre defined. Technically you could locate the image source file and edit that in photo shop or you could put another image over the original symbol. The borders of a cc3+ map work in this exact way actually. If you load up a pre made map or a starter map you will usually find there is a fake border that surrounds the border art. It's just rectangular objects that are coloured white. So it gives the impression of an edge but ultimately the overhanging symbols are still there just hidden.

So I'm a part of the group that's getting into CC3 thanks to the humble bundle. This tutorial has already helped me enough to get started with the system. One question that I had though was regarding a few of the add ons. The Humble Bundle does not include Dungeon Designer 3 or City Designer 3. Do you recommend that I purchase these as well? Would you consider them essential to create towns and dungeons within CC3, or are they just a useful toolset? Thank you for your help!
@JoshPlunkett
@JoshPlunkett 3 жыл бұрын
Hey mate. Yes I would absolutely consider them essential. You can make these type of maps without the addons but it's much easier with them.

Just started using the program, and this helped a lot! However, when I try to "render" the map, for some reason the terrains don't blend together. I looked at the different sheets and applied both blur and inner Fade, but none are applied to the terrains, in any of the sheets. I tried using the property button, but that doesn't select the terrain, so don't know how to check what sheet it's even on.

I come here due to the humble bundle around 2020-06-18 Late to the party, but... A video in 2017 about a tool with a UI straight out of 2003 at best? That "smooth polygon" tool _alone_ is a capital crime against user experience... Yet they still insist on that being the default option for forest tools and whatnot. All that being said, this still looks like a powerful tool for map making, the colossal failures in UX notwithstanding. Kudos from 2020 for making all these videos to help us noobs try to learn this magnificent abomination!

Josh is starting with something called the "Mike Schley Overland Style", something I don't have. I've got four of Mr. Schley's 1000x800, 2 in metric and 2 in english units. How do I get this overland style or has it been renamed, deprecated, etc?

Hey there, I know this is a really old video now so I am not expecting a response but I'm going to try my luck. I bought the CC3 plus package as part of a humble bundle, installed it and then I created an account with Pro Fantasy and linked my key to it incase I decide to buy some of the addons. Now I want to start building some cities using city designer but I don't know if I have access to the full tool or not. It appears in the actual program and I can see CC3+ DD3 and CD3 at the top next to save and print etcetra but in Pro Fantasy it doesn't say I own the DD3 or CD3 packages. Just wondered if I may be missing something or if CC3+ comes with like a basic package for both tools.

Three Questions: Are they free and can someone recommend where to get some proper ones in the style of the Annual Herwin Wielink? I especially would need structures fitting to the Herwin Wielink Style. I need stuff like lumberhuts, quarries, mine entrances, Watermills, Mills etc (im building a map for an economic strategy game). Second question is about the size of the map. Is the Width and Height in mm or any other size? So i can measure beforehand how big the board will be and start a map with that size. It also makes it easier to scale all the symbols and textures. Not that a map with a central city i created for a 40x40cm board will turn out to be 3 times the size or just a quarter of it. I assume that the settings are in mm if you pick a metric one. But it seems to not give any info on it. It could also be a PC specific size. And finally: Is it somehow possible to create an isometric city in City Designer and then get into Cartographer to use it there? I couldnt find any isometric style, but the website shows a quite nice isometric city map with surrounding fields. My issue is, that i have to make one quite detailled city on the map but it has to be isometric like the other symbols/assets in CC3+ on the Herwin Wielink Style, while the rest doesnt need to be as expansive and detailled as its mostly just consisting of villages or small locations (like a Miningcamp). But that one city has to be relatively detailled and big, with visible streets and different buildingtypes. It would certainly help, aswell with all the other programs as they offer useful symbols. I got the complete bundle from HumbleBundle and just get started. Im a total beginner on such design programs.

This might be based on the underlying software used to make CC3+ buy why on Earth are Sheets exactly backward from how things work in reality? The BOTTOM sheets are on top of the TOP sheets!? It's also mind boggling that standard language was ignored. Layers are not layers, they're groups, and sheets are actually layers. Just seems purpose built to confuse. Is this British vs. U.S. language?

Yeah the underlying software which has been around since the DOS days did it this way. Technically... this tool came before many of the other tools we are familiar with that calls things the other way around. It's confusing for those that come from those tools. For those that have been using this since the DOS days it simply has always been this way.

The two are not the same. Coming into CC3+ thinking it should work like Paint Shop Pro will cause delays for sure. CC3+ is not about pixel manipulation. It's a vector program and is designed to speed the map making process up. It's designed specifically for the task. You can place a tree for example and the tree will automatically layer over the mountains and obtain a shadow effect.

The graphics look really nice, but tools seems really clunkly. Why not just have a "Select" option and then, I can immediately drag n drop, stuff. And when I right click, I get Delete / Edit Nodes / etc. You could even make shortcuts for these so I just select and then press Del for Delete. Instead you explain as. Select Delete Tool -> click on thing you want to delete and then -> right click -> do it. Way too many steps for such a simple operation. If the app is intelligent enough to know that some area has to be rerendered and makes it white. Why not just rerender that part? Todays PCs are good enough to handle that. For placing stuff like mountains, there should be an option to like spread paint Mountains with a random size between some numbers A and B + a distance at which a new mountain gets placed and than just keep the mouse pressed and swipe along the area you want your mountains to be. These are just sooo many simple tools, which provide a speed up which other map creation tools have. The landmass feature was the only one that looked like providing a good speed up for designing. I really like the artwork you have done, and was honestly considering buying this anyway. But I will have no fun using this.

Love the information but you really need to back off the mic. It was infuriating hearing every single lip smack and wet mouth noise while trying to get information. I'd invest in a pop filter and adjusting your distance from the mic.
