Wyoming, a Guide to Its History, Highways, and People
Wyoming, a Guide to Its History, Highways, and People
First published in the famous American Guide Series of the Work Projects Administration in 1941, Wyoming: A Guide remains a distinguished survey of the state, its centers of interest, and its history. Now issued in paperback for the first time, it can introduce to new readers the geographic spectacle and pioneer history that continue to shape the character of Wyoming.
A new introduction by T. A. Larson, author of History of Wyoming, updates the Guide and evaluates changes seen in the state since the book was first published.
Valuable to the resident as a reference to the state's many treasures, and useful to the tourist who wants to know more than the road signs tell, Wyoming: A Guide commemorates those who passed through to the West and those who stayed to forge a state in the heart of the frontier.

Knowledge Base - Technical Articles
FAQ: Should I cascade or embed one service within another?
|Article ID:
|ArcIMS 9.2, 9.3, 9.3.1, 10 ArcGIS Server 9.2, 9.3, 9.3.1, 10
|Windows 2000, 2003Server, Vista, 2008Server
A cascading service is the notion of a published map service being added to a map document (MXD) and re-published as a map service.
With the 9.3 release, it is not possible to re-publish a password protected map service through ArcGIS Server (even as the owner of the original service).
Some of the known issues with cascading services include:
Third party services
Re-publishing a third party map service or one that is not managed by your organization is not supported. The inability to ensure stability, up-time, or even inspect the original map service at a service level, can create problems for the re-published map service. The following services (to name a few) should not be republished:
-ArcGIS Online
-Geography Network
-Third party WMS services
-Third party image services
-Third party ArcIMS or ArcGIS Server map services
ESRI Support does not have the ability to troubleshoot a map service that is not directly manage.
Another potentially problematic workflow involves cascading a service and attempting to create a map cache. The map cache mechanism makes many calls for each layer at varying extents and resolution. Not every service provider can keep up with the requests required to build a map cache at the speed the cache mechanism requires. A cascading map service that draws upon a non-ESRI map server may not be able to produce enough maps/tiles per second to satisfy the cache generation process. Additionally, many third party map services have a cap on the map image dimensions that can be requested. This becomes problematic for the map caching tools, which requests an area up to 4096 x 4096 pixels at a time. A complete cache failure or an incomplete cache with blank tiles could result.
Finally, caching third party map services could result in legal issues if proper rights to the original data are not obtained from the owner.
ESRI cannot support, nor guarantee a cache attempt, from a third party map service or any cascaded service.
Working with cascading services
There have only been two identified situations that may require the use of cascading services. Caution is emphasized if these workflows must be used.
The first scenario involves use of the ArcGIS Data Appliance. This appliance contains tiles in the WGS84 geographic coordinate system. If there is a requirement to overlay a service whose cache uses a different coordinate system, it may be necessary to add both services to an MXD and republish. The map service can reproject the cached tiles on the fly.
The second identified workflow of cascading services involves overlaying cached and noncached services in the ArcGIS Server 9.2 .NET Web ADF. Cascading services may yield better performance in this scenario than if the services were accessed separately. This workflow does not apply to ArcGIS Server 9.3.

The article contains a typographical or grammatical error.
Regarding the statement: "With the 9.3 release, it is not possible to re-publish a password protected map service through ArcGIS Server (even as the owner of the original service)." Assuming that this is still the case for 9.3.1 and 10, a new article discussing options to work around this would be useful. For instance, is it possible to supply username and password credentials, or can the protected WMS not be served through ArcGIS Server at all?

I have suggested related resources/links that can enhance this article. See below.
"The second identified workflow of cascading services involves overlaying cached and noncached services in the ArcGIS Server 9.2 .NET Web ADF. Cascading services may yield better performance in this scenario than if the services were accessed separately. This workflow does not apply to ArcGIS Server 9.3." SO what is the workflow for 9.3 when trying to combine cached and dynamic services ???

Kyle Reuter, age 24, was sentenced in 4th Judicial District Court Wednesday morning. Reuter had plead "guilty" in February of this year, per a plea agreement with the State, on a charge of possession of child pornography.
Representing Reuter was Gillette attorney Nick Carter; Sheridan Deputy County Attorney Dianna Bennett represented the State. While no witnesses were called, Bennett presented in her sentencing argument that she became aware of Reuter violating terms of his bond while he has been in jail, in that he was writing to and receiving letters from a 16-year-old female. Those letters, Bennett indicated, were of a salacious nature, in which Reuter told her he had a preference for young girls.
Bennett also told Judge Fenn that Reuter has not seemed to take responsibility for his actions, that he has not actively sought treatment and that he had been involved in sexually-explicit chats with minor-age females as well as viewing child pornography.
Judge Fenn shared with Bennett his concern with the plea agreement, stating that "it appears to the Court that this is a very troubled young man and he needs help, but it doesn't appear that he is doing much to get help. If he's in prison for a short amount of time but still doesn't receive help, he's that much older and out in the community."
Bennett responded by saying that at the time of the plea agreement, it appeared that Reuter was starting to "get it" as far as understanding the seriousness of his crime, but then she became aware of the letters and chat history.
Carter then addressed Judge Fenn, saying that philosophically, the criminal justice system is "ill-equipped" to deal with mental health issues, and "when help comes with a pair of handcuffs, it is help someone isn't apt to accept."
Carter said that in the time he's been representing Reuter, he has seen his client mature, and that the medication Reuter is taking for depression – Reuter has been prescribed Prozac – has been helping him considerably. Carter added that in his opinion, Reuter has, in the last few months, come to understand and admit to what he has done, and that by Reuter admitting in Court and in writing to this understanding is a "first step."
Reuter was given an opportunity to speak before being sentenced. He tearfully apologized to the Court, to Bennett and to his mother. He said after he is released from prison, where he intends to seek out available treatment, he plans to attend college to get a broadcasting and business degree. He said to Judge Fenn, "I didn't initially understand that what I was viewing was illegal."
When it came time for sentencing, Judge Fenn accepted the terms of the plea agreement, giving Reuter 3 to 5 years in the Wyoming State Penitentiary with credit for approximately 380 days served in the Sheridan County Detention Center. Reuter is also to pay $200 to the Crime Victims Compensation Fund, $75 for his PSI Evaluation and $20 in Court costs.
Before adjourning the Court, Judge Fenn remarked to Reuter, "I have real concern for you; if you need help, get it. Don't be in front of me or another judge for a more serious crime after you get out of prison, because then I will do what is best for the safety of the community."

- Conference date: 20-25 July 2002
- Location: Whistler, British Columia (Canada)
This paper discusses the recent progress with a validation exercise to examine the effectiveness of DSMC and Navier‐Stokes in predicting complex flows involving shock/shock and shock/boundary layer interactions under laminar hypersonic conditions. The exercise is based on experiments conducted in the Aerothermal and Aero‐Optics Evaluation Center shock tunnels using nitrogen. Under moderately rarefied conditions Navier‐Stokes methods have performed very well in capturing the details of flow structure especially when non‐equilibrium and slip effects are accounted for, whereas DSMC has not been as successful. In particular, the size of the separation regions is underestimated. This paper presents redefined test conditions accounting for vibrational non‐equilibrium which have been substantiated by correlations obtained for pressure and heat transfer on the hollow cylinder and cone forebodies. Details are announced of two new lower density test conditions for future validation studies.

James LeBron-NBA Regular Season MVP1
James LeBron as 1
- Win rate on bettingexpert 40.82 %
Last settled tips
- Tips in League 49
- Yield in League -13.50 %
After second title in row Lebron James is going to fight hard to make as much possible trophies, both team and individual. With all trophies he made so far he is definitely part of the NBA history, but it looks like there will be more trophies for one of the best world basketball players of all the time.
He has won so far four times this award and I see huge value in this bet, as all other players are big underdogs compared to him.
Some of players who have small chances for this prize are Kevin Durent, Derrick Rose or Chris Paul, but realistically Lebron is bigger favorite than odds represent.
Durent's Oklahoma looks weaker than last year, because of injury of Westbrook and departure of Kevin Martin, so his chances will be smaller than one in season 2012/13.
Derick Rose is only player, beside James, who has win this award in last five years, but his problem is long lasting injury and it is hard to believe he can repeat such a performances like he had two or three years ago.
Chris Paul for example has good stats, but his team is inconsistent, so beside he needs to improve personal stats Clippers will need to play much better in case Paul will have some chances for the prize.
All in all this is great offer by StanJames and the only "problem" with this bet could be fact that this is long term bet, so we would wait for the outcome before the start of the playoffs.

Presidents Of The United States Of America
The Presidents Of The United States Of America were formed in Seattle during the post-grunge years, but their music and outlook were distinctly different from most of the bands on the Seattle alternative scene. Songs like 'Lump' and 'Peaches' displayed a unique sense of humour and were either annoyingly catchy or endearingly hummable depending on your viewpoint. They split up in 1997 but have since reformed to pursue their absurdist indie rock vision even further.

Yes, the additions of Michael Pineda and Hiroki Kuroda do wonders for the rotation, not only improving it at the front, but providing depth, such that a reasonable amount of wear and tear should not force Freddy Garcia to take the mound in Game 2 of the ALDS. The bullpen should remain among the best in the league, especially if Joba Chamberlain returns to something approaching full strength by midseason. The signing of Pedro Feliciano and the low-risk invitation handed to Hideki Okajima give the Yankees LOOGY alternatives to the controlled madness of Boone Logan.
However, the loss of Jesus Montero also means the Yankees are once again posting a lineup that has no players younger than 28, and no regulars in the pre-arbitration phase of their career. The inevitably declining range of the Yankee infield could be a rude awakening for Kuroda, whose career groundball rate is substantially higher than any other Yankee starter. More importantly, discouraging three-year offensive trends for Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, and Mark Teixeira suggest that all may have entered the decline phase of their careers, even though the organization is still on the hook for a combined $296.5 Million.
Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, and Brett Gardner have stepped into the void, but, with the exception of Cano, have not proven their ability to post annual All-Star level performances. Gardner suffered a rather severe late-season skid in 2011 (.216/.312/.304 in his final 60 games) and Granderson's biannual regressions are well documented.
More important than the Yankees "on-paper" weaknesses, however, are the apparent strengths of their competitors, especially in the American League. The Angels landed the best player in the game this offseason, while bolstering a rotation which was already among the best in the league (3rd in in WAR, 2nd in ERA, 2nd in IP) with the signing of C. J. Wilson. Their offense was putrid in 2011, but Albert Pujols will not be the only addition they make this spring, as megaprospect Mike Trout and former MVP-candidate Kendrys Morales also join the roster, and the Jeff Mathis era comes to an end (which, regardless of how you feel about Hank Conger and Chris Iannetta, is addition by subtraction).
Then, of course, there are the Rangers, two-time reigning AL Champs who remain in negotiations with both Yu Darvish and Prince Fielder, a source of irresolvable panic for the fans of all other teams. Yes, the Rangers lost their "Ace," but they also elected to put their most talented pitcher, Neftali Feliz, in the rotation, where he joins a growing collection of young power arms, any one of which could fill the void left by Wilson. In 2011, they came within one game of the Championship despite the fact that neither Josh Hamilton, Adrian Beltre, Nelson Cruz, nor Mike Napoli played as many as 125 games. It seems wishful thinking to expect the Rangers to be less fortunate in 2012.
In the AL East, there still resides a Red Sox team which everybody believed was the bee's knees at this time last winter. Certainly, their rotation provokes much more skepticism this time 'round, but the roster is still more-or-less identical. Is there any chance Carl Crawford doesn't rebound? Does anybody think Andrew Bailey is a big step down from Jonathan Papelbon? Will anybody notice J. D. Drew's absence?
More frightening for the AL East is the fact that the 91-win Rays have yet to play all their cards. They have half-a-dozen starting pitchers, each of whom could pitch near the front of 80% of the rotations in the league. Every other team covets the Rays arms, and the positional flexibility of Sean Rodriguez and Ben Zobrist means Andrew Friedman could chase the best hitter available on the trade market, regardless of where he plays.
Sadly, none of the five teams discussed in this post can represent the AL Central, which means, even in an expanded playoff field, one of these teams will be left out of the postseason (and another will go home after one game). The Yankee are no closer than anybody else to avoiding that fate…but, like the Rays and the Rangers, they are still clearly capable of getting better.
The tangential benefit of the rotation makeover was the creation of a set of expendable assets which Cashman can use to improve the current roster; namely, Phil Hughes or Ivan Nova, two young starters who have had success at the major-league level. Following the signing of Hughes to a team friendly one-year contract, he is probably even more valuable than Nova. Despite the fact that Nova has been much better over the last year-and-a-half, is younger, less expensive, and less apparently injury-prone, Hughes has the "top prospect" pedigree which is mouth-watering to many GMs. He is, at least superficially, falling out of favor with his current franchise. The "change of scenery" logic will be very inviting.
A Modest Proposal
I know this will be unpopular, but hear me out…
Is there any reason the Yankees shouldn't invite Manny Ramirez to Spring Training?
The case for Manny is entirely based upon his flare for the dramatic. For a prorated league minimum salary, you offer him the opportunity to finally play for his hometown and he gets a chance to stick it to two of his former teams. Sure, he won't be available until after he serves his suspension, but he provides an infusion of energy at midseason and, if he's got anything left, is superior to any of the other affordable alternatives at DH. If he doesn't have anything left, he gets cut after a few weeks…no harm done. I just don't see what the Yankess have to lose.
Moreover, if the Yankees commit to a rotation cast of low-risk DHs (mixed with resting regulars), they can reserve their remaining resources (both monetary and personnel) for midseason renovations, like acquiring David Wright.

INTM585210 - Thin capitalisation: accountancy issues: FRS 17: The impact of pensions accounting on thin capitalisation
When HM Revenue & Customs makes a thin capitalisation agreement with a company or group of companies (see, for example, INTM582000 onwards) it will include financial covenants as one of the ways by which the debt is monitored. For example, there may be a covenant involving interest cover - see INTM577000 onwards, or debt:EBITDA ratio - see INTM578000 onwards.
As indicated in INTM577010, interest cover is regarded as an indication of the ability of the company to pay interest while still having sufficient profit left to meet other obligations.
The impact of pensions accounting on the cash position needs to be considered carefully because there is a significant difference between contributions made and the accounting entries. In looking at cash flows when considering a financial covenant, accounting entries must be examined to discover their impact on the calculation of a company's debt capacity.
As with all thin capitalisation cases, the solution to a particular problem lies in a combination of understanding exactly what is happening, and the use of common sense to decide how a third-party lender might be expected to respond.
Accounting standards (FRS 17 and IAS 19)
The UK accounting standard FRS 17 on 'Retirement Benefits' applies to accounting periods ended on or after 1 January 2005. Entities applying IFRS will apply IAS 19 "Employee Benefits" - which is similar, although not identical, to the requirements in FRS 17.
The impact of these pension standards and their effect on thin capitalisation is discussed further below. The impact of the pensions accounting is discussed in the context of FRS 17, the UK accounting standard. However, any significant differences between the UK and IFRS standards are covered in the relevant sections below. If IFRS is applied and you are unsure of the accounting application, please consult your local accountant.
Approach to pensions impact on thin capitalisation
When considering how much debt a company can service, one of the indicators a bank would consider in a substantial case is the underlying free cash flows. The cash impact of pensions i.e. the contributions, and the accounting entries are often completely different. Therefore in considering what to do with the FRS 17 accounting entries, one needs to consider the impact of the pension accounting on the reporting of cash flows and hence on the entity's debt capacity.
One option in adjusting profits to cash flow would therefore be to remove all the pension accounting entries from the accounts and then deduct actual contributions payable (in a similar way that depreciation is sometimes removed and an adjustment made for actual capital expenditure). This should be a relatively easy adjustment to monitor, as a similar adjustment is made in the tax computations, although this is for contributions paid rather than payable.
The alternative is to leave in the FRS 17 entries and make adjustments so that the accounts reasonably reflect the cash cost of the pension scheme to the group, as a step towards evaluating cash flow information. This approach is less straightforward, although commonly applied, and so is the main focus for the remainder of this chapter.

WHAT AND WHY: Fatigue, age-related wear and tear, poor bike fit and a weak core can cause pain and strain.
FIX: Perform plank exercises to strengthen your core. Stretch your hamstrings. Check your bike fit to see that you're not overreaching (see Neck, above), keeping in mind that over the years you may need to tweak your riding position to compensate for decreased flexibility.

Is there one beard that can rule them all?
There has been no shortage of facial hair in the movies of 2012, but what movie character had the best beard of the year? Help decide which beard takes the number one spot by voting in the first annual Reelzie awards.
Nori (far left)
Played by Jed Brophy, Nori is one of the dwarves in The Hobbit an Unexpected Journey and is the brother of Ori and Dori. The braids in Nori's beard make it a standout in the cinematic beards of 2012.
Dori (second from left)
Played by Mark Hadlow, Dori is one of the dwarves in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and is brother of Ori and Nori. The silky silverness of his beard and the way the shape of the eyebrows compliment the shape of the mustache are what make this facial hair a strong contender.
Dwalin (center) Played by Graham McTavish, Dwalin is is one of the dwarves in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and is the brother of Balin. The stark contrast between the full, lush beard and the shiny bald head is striking and sure to win many votes.
Balin (second from right) Played by Ken Stott, Balin is one of the older dwarves in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and is the brother of Dwalin. His full white beard is tinged with a touch of yellow, and both his hair and beard look as though they see a hair dryer on a regular basis.
Tony Mendez (far right)
Played by Ben Affleck, Tony Mendez is the CIA operative at the center of Argo. He wears his this beard high on his cheeks, and the beard's sprinkling of salt and pepper gives his facial hair some nice color variation that's not featured in the dwarf beards.
Check our Awards Watch page to vote on any Reelzie category you might have missed. New categories will be announced regularly through December 31st.

I've been riding to work most days for almost a year now, first 3 miles each way, now about 3.5, on three-speed bikes.
My first Schwinn Breeze was stolen, replaced by another, and then by a Western Flyer three speed. That bike recently developed serious problems in the rear hub (a Shimano 3-speed IGH from the 1970's), and I am now considering buying a new bike, instead of spending $150 to fix this one.
I joined up because I'm considering spending $500 to $900 on a bike and would like some advice. For now I'm interested in the Torker t-530 or Graduate, the Novara Transfer, or the Breezer Uptown. I like internal gear hubs rather than derailers, due to the easy downshifting at red lights and lack of grease, and want to be able to ride in the rain and at night without worries. I like riding slow enough to work to avoid getting sweating; changing clothes is too much trouble. But I do tend to go faster on the way home to get more exercise.
I did ride an old 1980's 10 speed as a freshman in college. After that was stolen, I bought a newer mountain bike with indexed shifting, which was much better, but I really should have had a rack and fenders and lights, looking back on it.
I don't have a great deal of bike mechanical knowledge, but I see no problem in spending my money at local bike shops for repairs. It sure beats paying $500 every time my car broke down!

The Frys.com Open this week will unveil a new team Tiger, with caddie Joe LaCava. You can bet Woods will be motivated by his recent disappointing play, his world rank and those people who say he can't win again.
The Fall Season on the PGA Tour usually is snooze time. But not this time. With Woods in the field, there will be plenty of interest in the Frys.com Open.

Kate Kane, Batwoman, has really caught the imagination of fans. She stands out as a character, strong, her short red hair and angular looks beautiful, but in the way you'd meet beauty at a comic convention, not how some artist mis-imagines it on a comic cover.
Maybe it is the way that the character has taken so long to come about, germinating first in Detective Comics, then in a stand alone. It took the new 52 event to bring her to her own title, and yet in that time the character became well known as one to read. Her sexuality may be of interest to some, but for me, it is not a concern. People are gay, bi, lesbian, transgendered in the real world and in the words of Stonewall, we need to get over that. Therefore, it shouldn't be a surprise or a 'special' thing, although then comics, for all their violence, oddness and ludicrousness are still seemingly conservative, and make a big deal when characters are gay like it's some triumph of the will to normalise the complex nature of human sexuality in comics.
Batwoman is not just another Batman clone or a sidekick grown up. There are interesting angles to the way the Batman franchise has expanded with individual characters and titles appealing to different readers, and this is then reflected in the actual comic world as Batman creates Batman Inc.
Yet Kate Kane seems to stand somewhat apart. The daughter of a colonel, she is a natural fighter, trained at West Point with multifaceted fighting abilities. She has been hurt and damaged previously, as is the trope with costumed vigilantes of the parish of Gotham, but her character is thoughtful, does things and takes moments, like looking at a photo of a lost police detective, lamenting the loss, and maybe reminding the reader of a harsh editorial decision.
So the first collection of the new 52 has a lot of pressure on it to perform, to present a decent story, and it does so.
Children are going missing in Gotham and Batwoman is on the case. Meanwhile Batman is on the Batwoman case, watching her every move, and the GCPD are on that case and then a government agency, which let's say has some unusual operatives, is also on the Batwoman case but looking to turn her to good use against the Batman.
We get a bit of history about Kate as we follow her. She has a sidekick who adds an interesting angle. The situation with her estranged father is unclear, but what is nice is that there are quite a lot of female characters in this comic, which only makes their lack elsewhere obvious.
The only moment that was slightly odd was when a dialogue box explained who Batwoman was and mentioned that she was a proud lesbian. I felt like working out when a male character had it said in a similar fashion that they were 'proud straight' and it isn't and it felt odd, as the story shows Kate for who she is and obvious statements like that seem superfluous when the reality of male heroes is not touched on in the same way. You know, 'he was proud womaniser', 'he was a proud philanderer', 'he was a psychotic with women', 'his girlfriends died a lot'.
Otherwise, the art work is delightful, the layouts on the comic have diversity and quality that sets them apart, beautiful use of the page, the clever adjustment of style of panels to sit and fit the story, and the artwork itself, so well illustrated, fine lines with nice colouring, giving clarity, the colours especially with Kate's hair being vital, (although I can not figure out her skin colour, its consistently pure white which is fine, but it seems very perfectly porcelain), and the Todd Klein lettering adds to the story, imparting a feeling that Klein is a maser of —this is all fine comic work.
An enjoyable start to the series and an intriguing nice ending, with the start of another phase primed. I quite enjoyed it.

In: Podcasts by Edie Sellers14 Sep 2012
Think the additive principle of comedy: Someone will say something mildly, the next person adds to it and it becomes funnier. Each subsequent addition becomes funnier until it's hilarious. Then the next addition takes it over to silly, perpetuating a consisting addition of more funny that take it so far beyond funny that it's no longer funny. But it's a black hole of funny and can't stop sucking everything into it.
And then it starts to derail a show before it's even begun.
The personification of the additive princple of comedy is Dave "Holy Goalie" Gardner. He doesn't — quite frankly — know when to stop.
And in this episode, Edie Sellers and Nick Dinicola try their best to pull the show back from the brink, and only succed in doing so by the greatest of mental will.

BOULDER -- Two of Boulder County's commissioners have put off action on a proposed plan for phasing in new oil and gas development, delaying the decision until the third member of the county board can participate.
On Thursday afternoon, commissioners Elise Jones and Cindy Domenico voted to postpone further consideration until June 18, when Commissioner Deb Gardner can be present.
Gardner is on a previously planned vacation in Nepal but will be back by June 18, according to the county staff.
Thursday's postponement also made it necessary to extend a moratorium on accepting and processing new oil and gas exploration applications, a timeout that's been in place since February 2012 while the county crafted new land-use regulations. The moratorium was set to expire next Monday.
Jones and Domenico on Thursday extended that moratorium through at least June 24.
Jones said the issues of whether and how to control, limit and monitor oil and gas activities in unincorporated Boulder County after the county resumes processing applications is serious enough that it "warrants the attention of all three commissioners."
Domenico said Gardner will be able, before the June 18 meeting, to review the tapes from the county staff's presentation and Boulder County residents' public-hearing testimony during a Wednesday night joint meeting that Domenico and Jones held with the county Planning Commission.
More than 50 foes of hydraulic fracturing -- the process of injecting sand, chemicals and water into wells to free up underground oil and gas deposits -- showed up for Thursday's meeting. Many of them also had attended Wednesday night's public hearing.
When Domenico and Jones ended Thursday's meeting, many in the audience joined in a chant of "Find courage! Ban Fracking!" and then sang "America the Beautiful."
On Wednesday night, county Planning Commission members voted 4-3 against recommending that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the staff-suggested plan for a two-year phase-in of drilling once the county's moratorium expires. Planing panel members voted unanimously that the county commissioners continue the current moratorium for an unspecified period beyond June 10.

I like it.
The shading should be better done in PS, then the light comes from the same direction for all objects.
I'm an enthusiast of Larb style and I'd like to learn more about mapping. I've created a template of buildings, tents, lights, wells, barrels, boxes, trees... in Illustrator, and I use photoshop for the terrain (river, elevations, shadows...).
This is the result of my first attempt. Don't be shy and don't doubt in comment how I can improve it (terrain texture, buildings, scale, shadows, lights...).
Thanks in advance.
PS: It's not labeled on purpose, so anyone can use it.
I like it.
The shading should be better done in PS, then the light comes from the same direction for all objects.
Could you please clarify your answer? The shading of the original vectorial objects or the projected on terrain?
I think Sapiento means consistency of the roof peak shadows - so the light source casts shadows in a consistent manner.
I am surprised my style translates into illustrator as well as it does. I don't use illustrator much (I don't own a copy sadly). And I think how you have adapted it looks good.
I do all my light/dark roof shading manually in photoshop though so I'm not sure how you'd handle that. Perhaps you could mirror some of the buildings and such. I'm not sure.
Anyway thanks for the compliment!
Thank you both for your answers.
Firstly, I show you an example of step-by-step building and 4 options for roofs peak shadows (Illustrator). I like the option number 4, but I'm open to any comment or corrections. These are simple because I prefer generic constructions for multpiple projects.
Finally, I have to say that I'm agree with you about the shadows of my map. The rush is not good for this kind of stuff. This is an example of shadowing in PS: 1) I apply the shadows projected by the buildings. 2) I apply the shadows on the buildings (roofs, yards...) or over other elements -like statues. 3) I apply the lights on the buildings. That's the result.
Any feedback is appreciated.
P.S.: I don't own graphic tablet sadly.
Last edited by Meriba; 07-28-2014 at 05:42 PM.
When I create buildings with beveled roof plans I use a vector drawing app (even with hand-drawn linework placed on top), when I rotate the shadows intuitively change appropriately to the same light source. That said, if I were doing this completely by hand I would create multiple versions at different rotations, so I can maintain the proper shadowing. (I do own a graphic tablet, but more often still use a mouse...)
I don't play L5R, but I did develop and publish a feudal Japan analog setting called the Kaidan setting of Japanese horror (PFRPG) as an imprint under Rite Publishing. I've done a detailed hand-drawn 5 story Japanese bath house map, and I do plan to one day create a detailed Japanese shiro (castle) map someday soon.
I also created the original hand-drawn map of the City of Kasai, for Paizo Publishing's Jade Regent Adventure Path, and did some of the writing in the city of Kasai gazetteer. Kasai is the capital of Minkai, Paizo's Japan-land set in Golarian. I have some expertise in Japanese history, folklore, architecture and more. Its always good to see someone else's rendition of fantasy Japan structures.

I draw vector templates for the buildings because I always can change the colors pattern if I prefer another light/atmosphere. And of course, I can rotate these at will. After that, I apply shadows, lights and other effects with PS.
Kaidan setting of Japanese horror!!! I didn't know that setting. After taking a look, please correct me if i'm wrong, it seems a high fantasy environment to me, like L5R. I must confess that I prefer political/human flaws/natural disaster based adventures. I use L5R game simply because it has simple rules y because I did know about it at first.
Even though, the maps included are very usefull! Thanks
