Let's actually use the installed brush. Since the brush is a material placed on the map, you will need to prepare the base part of the map yourself. This time I am using the demo map published by Fantasy Map Brushes. Once the map is open, select the Brush tool and choose a brush type from the tool menu.
There is a folder called 'de Fer Cartography Brushes' in the brush list, so open it and click on the 'Landforms' category.
Select the “Mountain 001” brush from “Mountains”.
The brush shape now resembles a mountain illustration, and you can now place it on the map by clicking it.
In addition to mountains, ``de Fer Cartography Brushes'' includes villages, forts, swamps, forests, animals, people, compasses, etc., and you can freely arrange them by changing their size and orientation. can do.
