Have loved using your Map Builder, Josh. Have taken a bit of a break from map making (was doing a full world and got a bit burned out) but going to be getting back into it in the new year and nice to have a timely reminder as this video comes out! :)
Absolutely! My plan over the coming weeks is to focus more on providing tutorials and guides on using the different Map Builders in the Map Effects Shop 👍
Well, I am actively working on a Japanese style icon pack. I’m hoping to finish that up soon. As for a full map builder with mountains, forests, etc. in that Japanese style, I’d definitely consider it if there was enough demand! I think it would be a lot of fun.
Hi Josh :) I just purchased your wonderful set. I have been able to import the brushes in Procreate but how do I import the polices and backgrounds ? Thanks for your help :)
Hey, I apologize for the late reply but I believe I already responded to the email you sent me? If not, the paper backgrounds function just like any jpeg file you can import into a project. 👍
Welp. This looks literally (not figuratively) like the perfect fantasy map maker, so much so it has me considering the androidial sin of considering an apple account solely for this! Having checked out your website, any chance we could get an identical quick tutorial but for the town map maker download you have?
Hey thank you for that, I really appreciate it! I used to be a strict android user as well, but eventually made the switch to primarily working on an IPad and haven’t looked back. Just having the Procreate app is reason enough in my opinion. But! One option you can consider is if you have a Photoshop subscription and access to the Photoshop app on your tablet, it will import the .abr version of the brushes for Ps. I tried it out on my IPad and it appears to work very well. And yes, I plan to do a video like this for the City Builder as well. The video is already partly shot 👍🏻. Thank you again!
@@MapEffects Great, can't wait to see! I think it would be pretty cool to see you make the occasional map creation of your own here and there too. Could be nice to see the utilities used to their fullest by the creator plus additional ideas for us novice map makers. Also, I saw the bundle on your site for the 4 pack for 12% off, do you plan on having some bundle for all your assets? Very keen to go through everything you have and just wondering if there would be a "add all" bundle option as I would jump at the chance . Just some enthusiastic, wishful thinking!
I'm not familiar with procreate. Is it possible to change the size of the brushes? I would like to create a huge world map, so my details need to be quite tiny.
Hey, I apologize for the late reply! Yes, you can adjust the size of the brushes. I drew them at a high enough resolution that you can scale them up. I did a map with the Map Builder that I printed at 24”x36” and it looked great 👍
Hey sorry for the late reply! The Map Effects Map Builders are brushes that you import into an app like Procreate, Photoshop, Clip a studio Paint, or Affinity. It’s not it’s own independent app 👍
I definitely understand. The only thing I will say is that the products I create is how I as an independent artist support my family and can continue to create more tutorials and content in the future. So just know that if you decide to save up and pick it up, I do genuinely appreciate your support. And if not, I understand and hope you enjoy all my free tutorials 😀
Ive recently discovered map drawing as a hobby, and I find it to be the most satisfying and relaxing thing to watch.
Same!

World maps have a tendency if doing that! Glad you’re taking it up again though. Thank you for the kind words as well!
i want this and the city builder so bad!! once i have enough money to spare i'll definitely be getting at least one of them.
Well I look forward to seeing the maps you come up with! 😀
These map builders have been so helpful.
Hey thank you so much, I love hearing it! 😀
I love these videos they are great guidance on how to start to combine all the elements in the packs. Can we have more please
Absolutely! My plan over the coming weeks is to focus more on providing tutorials and guides on using the different Map Builders in the Map Effects Shop 👍
I have a question do you think you will do fantasy Japanese maps in the future?
Well, I am actively working on a Japanese style icon pack. I’m hoping to finish that up soon. As for a full map builder with mountains, forests, etc. in that Japanese style, I’d definitely consider it if there was enough demand! I think it would be a lot of fun.
I love this, can you do something with Affinity design as well?

Awesome, Josh!
Very cool and helpful tool ! Love it !
Does it work with Krita for example ?

Is there a good canvas size at 300 dpi that you recommend? Love your map builders!
I usually go for something around A2 paper size at 300 dpi 👍. And than you! Sorry for the late reply.
Josh - do you have brushes for double line roads?
I'm not familiar with procreate. Is it possible to change the size of the brushes? I would like to create a huge world map, so my details need to be quite tiny.

What is the brand of brush you have? I would like to get it as a gift for a friend
Hi. How can I use mapeffects on iPad? Because I can't find the application in the app store.
Hey sorry for the late reply! The Map Effects Map Builders are brushes that you import into an app like Procreate, Photoshop, Clip a studio Paint, or Affinity. It’s not it’s own independent app 👍
How do you import its not letting me import the download.
Where are the brushes?
The Map Builders are available on the Map Effects website in the shop 😀
Sadly too expensive cus im kinda broke
