Thanks for the feedback mate [:)]ORIGINAL: springel
I think it is a nice way to join the zoomed map elements with those background pictures.
It is a special kind of graphic novel documentary.
I'm kind of on the fence with this.
I have been trying to make the background images match the weather, with a little bit of Photoshop magic, and darkening them right down to represent night time.
Like you I think it adds a bit of narrative, and interest to the map that after a while gets a bit boring. I was looking forward to showing the daylight ones, some of which are stunning. Although its not the best way to display them, with big blotches of map all over it lol
Like Peter (Phoenix) I can also see that it may be a bit distracting, that's why I asked, and why I felt it needed a bit of an explanation in the last slide, although I have toned it down now to a plain texture (less distracting?).
I tried the green that I have used in the past for the background, but it just didn't suit the scene, so changed it to white (snow).
I will still be doing the big sitrep images, (without background images) when its needed to show the whole battlefield, but it has hardly changed since I did the last one, so no need for that yet.
Anyway, I'm glad your still enjoying it [:)]
