TaleSpire - Building Tips 1 - Camera & Interface (Chimera Version)

[@emdotambient]

I've spent 41 hours building so far ... less than 2 minutes into this video I already learned something. Hehe, double right-click to focus. Ahh. So much better! This is an excellent, quick, and useful tutorial on the camera and interface in TaleSpire. Thanks!

[@istallri]

Hard work for this one but indeed I try to be straight to the point with nice visuals! It is a pleasure to see that it was helpful to you :)

[@WalterCrumbcake]

This was my biggest complaint with the program as I thought it was some weird bug. Now I can turn DOF back on.

[@Kaiazes]

Wow, this is super helpful! I just got into GMing and bought Talespire to do some dabbling, but who would have thought such an awesome resource existed for learning it! Thank you so much!

[@istallri]

My pleasure! You should find other tutorials and a lot of showcases here :)

[@Metalchemist2]

Thank You for making this! just got into Talespire thinking it'd be great for my players so they don't have to put up with my crappy doodles as much and the whole thing was completely overwhelming. Learning new systems sucks but this helped make things easier.

[@istallri]

@@Metalchemist2 my pleasure:D don't hesitate onzsk for help the whole community is s wholesome :)

[@BRiMtheBot]

I just got Talespire for my campaign, as of right now, this is the most helpful tutorial I've ever seen, thanks a million!

[@istallri]

My pleasure :)

[@ApostleO]

Clicking "Like" if for no other reason than learning you could Middle-Click to rotate things 90°. Thanks!

[@istallri]

it's the small things ^^

[@woodstock7063]

Extremely helpful tutorials I applaud your devotion. I can't wait to start building the iconic places of my realm.

[@istallri]

You have the tools, I just bring some knowledge, welcome to the TaleSpire community!

[@Sabamonster]

The little things you do in this video to help drill in the controls is probably overlooked by a lot of people but I just wanted to say that these videos are exceptionally well done. Things like including the little "clicking noise" when talking about the double-click. People remember things based on their sensory perception, so things like this go a long, long way in regard to retaining the information. Best Videos on the client hands-down.

[@istallri]

Many thanks! And spot on for the click sound! It is hand placed during editing to emphasize even more my point :) I'm happy to see that you appreciate the work put in and even more that it helps you!!

[@Sabamonster]

@@istallri Being an avid builder in a lot of games I came into TaleSpire not really sure what to expact, it's definitely a different experience but you made the learning curve a lot easier. A *lot* easier. In my experience when it comes to building in programs/games in general the controls are the biggest hurdle. Once you get those down the rest you can get. You went on to give a detailed run-through of your entire process which honestly, is pretty invaluable. Not a lot of people put the kind of information out there that you did. It's almost a "not-so-secret-secret" to most builders that planning and mapping is super important, or even real-world references. Most people who find videos see someone building something amazing and think to themselves "I'll never be able to do that" because most videos put out there never go into things like referencing. You're actually the first person I've ever seen put it in a video as part of their process. Goes a long way IMO. Have a lot of respect for you.

[@istallri]

@@Sabamonster many thanks again :) I do believe that everyone has something to share and given the right tools should be able to express themselves in some manner :) And yeah, references and planning are key for everything! My streams of the castle build show even the added step of the block out phase that I've started doing later (blocking out the crude shapes and volumes so avoid redoing stuff later and better plan for insides and spaces) I come from a place that is not at all artistic so I do feel the insurmountable wall it can be for new users to create art when you see what other good artists do. So teaching my learnings is my way to help :)

[@silver_tongue_studio]

This is priceless information. Thank you so much for doing this and I can't wait to study these videos thoroughly!

[@ShwamiTalks]

I just grabbed this today and I am so thankful you have a guide series. I am excited to build fun things and know there is somewhere I can look for help!

[@istallri]

Ah many thanks!! I should have a big update vidéo in February too! Don't hesitate to check the other videos and all the slabs I provide for free :D

[@armengraham6925]

Thank you for keeping me up to speed with TaleSpire! Concise and helpful tutorial on the interface.

[@istallri]

My pleasure! I try to be efficient with tutorials so I'm happy that it pleases you!

[@Nich10solo]

Fantastic tutorial. I've already purchased your scenarios with maps. I can't wait to run them with friends.

[@istallri]

Ah thank you very much! We're currently working on the third one :)

[@theNeonfrequency]

thank you so much ill be watching the rest of your videos in order to really learn this awesome program

[@jaklegend3]

Very concise and easy to understand! Excellent Tutorial

[@istallri]

@@jaklegend3 thanks, I hope you'll enjoy the series :)

[@rk9sbpro83]

I just gifted all my players talespire on steam for christmas I'm so excited to make the maps I've always wanted to without dropping hundreds of dollars on real life tiles. This tutorial is great and I'm looking forward to watching the others after getting the hang of the basics! :)

[@istallri]

Ah very happy to hear that! In 10 tutorials you should have all the knowledge to build your ideas :D And I have also plenty of slabs and boards you can use ;)

[@fammnak852]

Thank you so much for teaching us!! I really appreciate it. I have Talespire for a year now but just as a player, and now I’d like to create my own game and your videos help a lot! ❤❤❤

[@istallri]

Ah awesome! Soon you'll be building amazing maps I'm sure :)

[@Lastwishes_Ghost]

Your videos were extremely helpful I've watched 9 or 10 of them now. Thank you for taking the time to create and post them. I posted a link to this video in the facebook group I'm hoping other may benefit as well. Take care and happy gaming!!

[@istallri]

ah many thanks :) what is this Facebook group? ^^

[@Lastwishes_Ghost]

@@istallri the group is named "D&D / RPG Maps"

[@istallri]

@@Lastwishes_Ghost I just need to be accepted by the admin now ^^ is it long?

[@Lastwishes_Ghost]

@@istallri I remember it not taking too long, considering 74k+ members.

[@rafreak8745]

Just bought it and this is what I was looking for! Thanks!

[@istallri]

My pleasure :)

[@rafreak8745]

@@istallri I´m taking my time to imitate your style with something of my own. I really love the way you built this little town. Combining different types of materials in the same building is genius. Thanks again!

[@istallri]

@@rafreak8745 there might be some livestream of it available on the channel and yeah, steal all the ideas and then practice makes perfect :)

[@TomfoolD]

Really well presented tutorial, thanks for putting this together :)

[@Rexmon]

Excited for part two :D

[@istallri]

It is already available! It is an old tutorial but still totally correct :)

[@johnyoungerman1857]

Yep, this helped. Thank you. Stay safe and Gruß from Germany

[@ks9759]

THIS WAS SO HELPFUL BLESS YOU

[@istallri]

Very happy to help :D

[@Raethen4e]

Amazing work as always, even better now that I actually have talespire and can follow along in-game. I'm currently trying to get some triangular sails to look right, I'm not quite happy with what I have so far.

[@istallri]

Sails are currently quite hard to do indeed! Don't hesitate to study others slabs!

[@n33k5ofunusualsize8]

Thank you so much this will make my building much quicker. I love this program and cant wait to see what more they add

[@istallri]

My pleasure if that helps you! Make sure to check my slabs on TalesTavern if you want to learn from them or play with them!

[@ZerolFaithl]

Great video thank you!

[@RepeaterFeeder]

GREAT TUTORIAL

[@istallri]

many thanks :D

[@monomakes]

Merci for the tutorial! Que bien! And your 'golden rule' with the double-click to focus is cool! :) Thanks

[@istallri]

Most useful camera movement in the game! ^^ happy to see that you enjoyed the video :)

[@beeRock115]

Great tutorial, you saved me so much time

My pleasure :)

thanks :D

[@DeadMojo]

Very nice video ! Helpful and clear, good job my friend, I've spent a lot of time to did some castle, natural areas etc but I think it will be simpler now with this video ! ^^ I hope that some other videos will appear on your chanel ! A bientôt ! =)

[@istallri]

Many thanks :Do I have a full tutorial series available on my channel with hopefully plenty of tricks to learn :D

[@DeadMojo]

@@istallri Oui, je viens de voir qu'il y a une série complète ! Je viens de commencer et je ne pense pas m'arrêter de ci-tôt haha très beau boulot en tout cas c'est très pro ! Nous sommes en train d'élaboré un jeu de rôle avec des amis et sur la map de base que nous avons fait, nous allons testé les feuilles de personnage et voir si la mécanique de jeu tiens la route... En attendant de construire plus et mieux, je vais m'imprégner de tes vidéos ;) Encore merci !

[@aszucs240]

thank you for making this

[@istallri]

my pleasure :)

[@sparkyanimations213]

Love it thank you :))

[@YiannosG]

Thanks for the video bud.

[@blazedragongaming5365]

2:05 this doesn't seem to be working for me....is there another option to do this?

[@HamiltonWard]

This is wonderful! How were you moving the characters though? It looked like you weren't using your mouse to move them up the stairs?

[@istallri]

You can use the arrow keys or shift+wasd :)

[@i_am_the_catman]

Thank you SO much!

[@istallri]

My pleasure :)

[@shocknawe]

7:14 - Ok, but HOW do I move the group of things I have created? I’m sorry. I’m just a tad frustrated with the builder. Thanks for the vid!

[@istallri]

Maintain X to create the selection box, and then just cut or copy and finally, paste :)

[@MJZA93]

My biggest issue with using this tool is that when i make a mistake i press ctrl+z but since i pressed control it changes the height of whatever i'm placing? any help for this problem?

[@istallri]

Ah I've changed the CTR button to one on my mouse, makes it much smoother for me and makes more sense - as I just move the mouse up and down with one hand to love the height.

[@7kshadowrunner975]

Is there a way to mass delete floor titles? The selection box only seems to copy floor tiles instead of deleting them

[@istallri]

Put the selection bow where you want it, make sur entobadjust it properly and to make it go deeper into the ground and hit delete :) or control X :)

[@7kshadowrunner975]

@@istallri Cool, thank you. I didn't realize I could make it drop lower.

[@raffaelepassarelli6444]

Can you export buildings as .stl for 3D printing?

[@istallri]

Nope, everything is in game currently without any export. (Nice Gundam profile pic ;) )

[@joerama]

Tour de force. TY!

[@istallri]

Thanks! Hopefully it provides usefull :)

[@VisuallyMediocre]

if this game had player movement on click with no bases it would be flawless.... the best of its kind. It probably already is, but that tiny animation of a PC moving is just orgasmic...

[@istallri]

You can move with the mouse or with the keyboard, on click would make the figurines just go straight without taking into account the terrain :)

[@nickvgallo]

Is there a way to make the camera move faster?

[@istallri]

You have a max speed that is not too bad, moving the camera up (white slider or page up/down) and then double clicking where you want to go is also instant :)

[@thiagoheringer101]

Hey do u think this series still are worth watching now in 2024 or are they outdated?

[@istallri]

It is still all good even if the UI changed a bit :)

[@gammelfleischinator]

how to use the sample high if i click nothing happen

[@istallri]

are how clicking in the interface in the middle high part of the screen when in build mode? :)

[@roberonin7400]

VR when lol ?

[@fightingfortruth9806]

I find the camera the most frustrating part of TaleSpire. These turorial tips should be in the game, not in a third party KZbin video.

[@istallri]

They are partially in the game, it is still an early access though and it takes a lot of time to do proper tutorials :) In any way, hopefully this video will help you!

[@fightingfortruth9806]

Oh yes, extremely helpful.

[@Lord_Squirrel]

Your work is appreciated Sir ! (Greetings from squirrel!)

[@IsAStormComing]

Really hard to understand due to the thick accent. Good information though..

[@istallri]

you can always activate the closed captions to help you with that :)
