FAQ

  • You may use the assets in this pack for commercial projects such as a map to include in a fantasy novel, or for marketing and branding for a client; as long as you credit “The Map Effects City Map Builder” for the original illustrations. But, as the map designer you will retain full rights to the original design itself. You may not resell or redistribute the assets in this pack in any way, including the creation of a physical version of the map builder or digital tile sets.

  • While GIMP and some other drawing apps will import the .abr file designed for Photoshop, you will need to modify the stamp brushes regarding their scale. Other modifications will also need to be made for the drawing brushes and seamless pattern brushes for floors, grids, & hatching in order to replicate how they would function in Photoshop.

  • There is a way to convert Photoshop brushes (.abr) to .png files, which would allow you to import the stamp brush illustrations into Wonderdraft. But, you will need to do a search online and determine what you feel would be the best method, as it requires a third party app. The drawing brushes, seamless floor brushes, and border brushes likely will not work, however.
