I have found that if I don’t sketch the map in 3d I tend to end up with something flatter than I wanted. Voxel drawing apps are a quick and easy way to solve this, they result in better maps and help communicate the 3d vision to the client. #drawing #sketchingtips #howtodraw #sketching #illustration #procreate #mapping #dndmap #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #dnd #townmap #dndart #digitalart #5e #voxel #voxelart #fantasyconceptart #ttrpg
@chloethecartographer I think it was Michael Prescott (Trilemma single-page adventures, not sure he's on the Fediverse) who had really cool workflow like this but using SketchUp
@stripey yeah, sketchup would be a good choice. I need to learn to use it, my go to 3d app is blender, but it’s not on iPad and I am often away from the desktop…
@chloethecartographer Blender is an absolute BEAST. I wish I could wrap my head around it.
It absolutely floors me every time I remember that you principally use it as a sketching tool, and I'm just like "buhhhhhh, how?"
Anyway your use of Blender really impresses me.
I mostly use FreeCAD for 3D, but I'm doing non-artistic mechanical stuff. Very different use case.
@stripey to be clear, I use Goxel as a 3d sketching tool, I’m only in blender when I’m doing something serious…
