Hi! Thank you for getting in touch; I am afraid I am not familiar with VTT or Foundry, so I don’t have any tips to offer.
Perhaps combining the assets to make a full hexmap on an image editing program like photoshop or similar, then uploading that on to the virtual table top? Sorry I can’t be of more help 😅
So... Bought it, looked at it, I'm not really sure what the intended use case is? Like, I'm not seeing any easy integration with any hexmapping tool off the cuff-- I see people saying it's not viable for Hex Kit, and testing it with Tiled didn't produce great results...
Are we supposed to actually open up photoshop and piece together each of these bits by hand? Because I mean, I could, but that's a time commitment I was hoping to avoid. I'm sure I'll find a use for them eventually, they just weren't what I was expecting.
This is an incredibly good resource. I just thought they were cute little ready-made hexes and didn't realise that everything is completely separate and infinitely combinable. Not what you think of when you see hex map, but pretty dang awesome for more detailed maps. Even at three times the regular price this would be a steal!
I'd buy an expansion in a heart-beat, though. You can never have enough stuff.
Thanks for the heads-up. I didn't see a Patreon link anywhere on this page or your website. I'll think about it, but I'm a bit leery about adding another mid-level Patreon. I can never seem to drop anybody I already support and it starts adding up ;-D
Would certainly buy expansion packs for $5 to $10, but I can completely understand that keeping some things for a Patreon revenue stream makes total sense.
I completely understand! Your reply did inspire me to start work on another expansion, though, which I'll put up on my Patreon next month. For the duration of the TTRPG Art Asset Jam I'm hosting, I've been putting my submissions both on Patreon (available to all tiers)and on itch.io, so you might see some expansions pop up here as well :) Thanks again for the kind words!
it’s this nice program to make maps from hex tiles!https://cone.itch.io/hex-kit
from theirfaq, this is how to be compatible:
Hex Kit tiles should be image files in a resolution of 210x210px and in 200 DPI. You can use this template to size up your tiles before you import them. Put all your custom tiles in a folder, and use the import function in Hex Kit.
I did some investigating, and the variation in asset size and the almost infinite set of possible positions for objects within a hex tile mean that it'd be very, very hard to make this stuff HexKit compatible.
Perhaps you could create readymade custom hex tiles made up of these assets, in many variations — for each selected tile type, HexTile paints with random instances of the variations within each folder — but even if you did that, at HexTile's resolution, a lot of the detail would be lost.
I think HexKit and this amazing set of wonders are working at two different scales.
