This one shows the 2.5 hour painting of the Hallowed Hall battle map, condensed into a short and sweet 5-ish minutes. Later this week, I want to print (in color this time!) and assemble this map on video, as I did the Humble Home. It was a lot of fun and very well received last time,

I’m having issues with the grid size as I’m trying to get the same outcome as you. Do you have a specific preference on the grid size?
Other: just found your maps etc, and so far very happy.
I always recommend 300 DPI for the DPI, which will control your grid size. You can refer to 00:28 in the video for my explanation, and 11:31 for how to use assets that don’t list the DPI or which import at strange dimensions. If you find assets like those please let me know! I’m trying to hunt down and convert them all to convenient dimensions.
Thanks! It sorted itself out once I changed the grid preference to 300 DPI! I’ll let you know if I find any assets like that, so far all good.

Thanks Craig!
Hello, I have some trouble with a few element. Every Time I drag one element, like “wall corner inside diagonal” for example, in photoshop after i put the right diamension I don’t see anymore the real edge of the image because the program doesn’t see anymore the blank part inside the image that i had put inside. So i can’t use grid for align two or more image.
Maybe is something in the Photoshop setting. Can you please help me, thank!
Hi Chiara! I believe that you need to activate Transform again. When you first add the element it is automatically in transform mode but, when you select it later, this is not so. You can active Transform mode again by selecting the element layer and pressing Ctrl+T or navigating to Edit > Transform. This will enable the bounding box and all the fine controls. I hope this helps!
