Default Re: TFT Map Maker

Here is my first attempt at using the new Backdrop addition to TFT Map Maker. The image comes from Google-Maps. This is a very rough image, without editing out labels or symbols. This was done with about an hours practice. Practice needs to be done to get the base image brighter while keeping hexes dark. Practice also needs to be done to get the right hex ratios to background feet.

I used GoogleMaps on Bodie, California. I added hexes, with 1 hex measuring 10 yards from side to side. See ITL p 168 map of Bendwyn for details.

And another town, Pompeii, Italy. This is 1 hex = 10 yards from side to side.

There is a building layout. I used a googled architectural drawing. I added hexes, with 1 hex measuring 4 feet from side to side. See ITL p 11 Hex.

The usefulness of this should not be underestimated. You can now Hex anything you have a map, photo or art for.
