Is that a snake on the map?

No Andy its a snake wall :wink:

by **Guiscard** on Sun Feb 25, 2007 4:37 pm

Ok. Bit thicker and a bit darker...

by **fisherman5** on Sun Feb 25, 2007 5:07 pm

looks good

I'm still of the opinion it needs to be of the same perspective as the mountains. What you have really doesn't fit with the rest of the map. It's such a great looking map, it's just this wall holding it back.

I know... I just can't do it! I'd be happy to send someone the photoshop file if they wanted to have a crack... I just can't get it right at the moment. Its driving me insane because this is the last major hurdle (in my opinion).

A thin, white/cream line would minimise the perspective problem and the graphic problem.

If you use just the front, get rid of the rest, and lighten it a bit, it could work if you copy and paste it and edit it a bit.

Guiscard, great Map...very professional, and I look forward to playing it.

For the wall, even though it is crude are u after something like this...

Yeh very much after something like that... Just can't get it right graphically drawing it myself, nor can I find a suitable image to use.

That was a five minute job in Fireworks...friend of mine just returned from walking the Great Wall, and sent me some photos, so I kinda know what it looks like.

What program are you developing the map in, Guiscard, Photoshop?

I absolutely agree - this is exactly what's needed. Nice one cairnswk.

Yeh photoshop... I'll have a crack tonight.

by **Guiscard** on Mon Feb 26, 2007 11:04 pm

OK here's my effort at a new '3d' style wall...

Any good?

by **Guiscard** on Mon Feb 26, 2007 11:23 pm

Andy I know you're lurking around somewhere...

Can you take some of the "shine" off it? Seems a little bright.

by **Contrickster** on Tue Feb 27, 2007 8:48 am

I agree it's blurry. Walls are hard.

by **Ruben Cassar** on Tue Feb 27, 2007 9:12 am

I like this wall better. I agree with the others though, remove that glow.

I would also try to include another tower in Karakorum in the middle between the first and second tower and see how it looks if it's not a big hassle.

by **Wisse** on Tue Feb 27, 2007 9:16 am

the wall looks good to me, remove the glow or make it less

by **Guiscard** on Tue Feb 27, 2007 9:36 am

Less glow and tried to make it look 'harder', also added a middle tower.

by **Wisse** on Tue Feb 27, 2007 9:48 am

hmm mayby blur it?

by **Arcanos** on Tue Feb 27, 2007 12:32 pm

i personally liked the brown wall better

by **Guiscard** on Tue Feb 27, 2007 12:57 pm

The colour can be changed, its more the actual graphic - this one is a better perspective in my opinion... Also looks reasonably 'run down', as the great wall was at the time.
