Maps / New Maps

agent_black · 08-06-2007, 09:14 AM

There are a few people who make maps out there. Does anyone have a blanks template. that is the hexes with the LoS dots. Jst blank. i'd like to make a few maps for everyone out there but i can not seem to find a decent template and my patience for making the hexes from scratch is little. id like to spend 3-4 hours making the actual map, not the template.

soo... any map makers out there. PSD or JPEG would be awsome.

oh. this request is for the old scale. i refuse to switch for a while.

If you know your way around photoshop it shouldNT take you long to make a grid/blank map. Took me about 5-10 mins

the problem with converting a pdf to psd is that the resolution sucks. guess its back to scratch and make it myself. thought id save some time ad see if anyone had anything to share.

You can make a pdf whatever resolution you like in photoshop (if it has vector based graphics in it like the above link). Just specify what resolution you want when opening.
