Using DD3 maps question

Hi Cap,

Can you provide links of the following:
1) DD3 file
2) JPG image (your DD3 image export)

You can host the files on google documents / google drive and provide share links, or you can use any other free online storage provider. Then I can take a look at what you are experiencing and give you some directions on how to better get your grid to match up in d20Pro.

Best,

 

Hi Cap,

Before 603x600


Ok, here's what I would do (inside CC3/DD3).

Make sure "Snap" is ON
1. Save As...
2. Save as type: "Rectangular section JPEG"
3. Options...
4. Let's pick 30px per square, we know we have 20x20 grid, thus 20x30=600px, so Width=600 and Height=600.
5. No options selected, using 100% progressive JPEG (you can select lower quality if you would like)
6. OK
7. Save
8. Using the rectangle tool, select just the occupied parts of the map from one edge corner to the other.

Given that, you should end up with the following image. 600x600


d20Pro import from file. Use 30px/square. (20x20 grid size)


See if you get the same results as I have.

 

Kirk-

When you say it won't render a JPEG file, are you talking about the Active Sheet Effects (shading/shadows/etc)? Or, it won't even create the JPEG file?

If it's the first part, simply turn on the Active Effects by clicking on the "Drawing Sheets and Effects" button, and make sure "Active Sheet Effects" is checked. Then use the before mentioned procedure.

Or, if you can create a "Rectangular selection PNG" though the file size will be much larger. Then simply when you create the map in d20Pro, choose save as JPG.

Here's when I render the image before I create the JPEG from rectangular selection.
