A Look at InKarnate - Map Maker Beta
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2015
- Inkarnate (inkarnate.com/) is a new tool that is currently in open beta (free) that gives you tools to make some really nice looking fantasy maps. Whether it's for D&D or just for fun, Inkarnate seems like a great tool. While it has very limited options, I'm sure the final version will improve and provide more. Check it out!

To make more jagged coastlines, use the larger brushes to create a rough outline of your land mass and then erase away the edges with a smaller brush
This is a fantastic piece of software. My 9 year old daughter is captivated and together we're creating worlds and imagining who and what could inhabit such lands. This is the perfect springboard for launching ourselves into a narrative driven rpg (with a very loose interpretation of rules!)
would never have discovered this without you, thanks mate
Citizen Staefn You’re welcome
Inkarnate - free, easy map tool. Pretty fun.
Near the beginning of the video, I saw you had multiple of the same map... I cannot figure out how to copy maps for the life of me (I wanted to make a terrain and political map)
It's been a while, but is there a 'save as' option? I think I just save them under different names.
this is great.. nice work... but do u know any similar cartoon version of map making?
I am so glad I found your channel man, I am going to watch every video you make. You are amazing!I am sure you will hit 100k subs soon!
+JediToastR - Thanks!
This looks like the final product will be incredibly efficient. Thanks for the heads up. I've been having trouble drawing out my own so I'm going to check this out for sure.
Thanks for introducing me to this map maker, Nate! It really helps because me and a friend of mine will do our first virtual table top very soon!
It's still in beta, but WOW. This is a lot of fun. I am SO glad I came to browse your channel, Nate! I'm a subscriber for life now, man.
Thanks! Welcome aboard! :D As for Inkarnate, they've added some features since I did this and it seems to be getting even better. Zoom is one feature I know they've added.
wish I could make planet sized maps :(
UPDATE: Here's a more recent look at what Inkarnate offers: ruclips.net/video/zVDmrujnSag/видео.html
Made 2.5 years after this video.
Man your content is fantastic. I spent around 4 sgraight hours binge watching your vids. As a newcomer to the hobby and DMing I can't thank you enough for the resources and info you've provided me with.
Nice! Well thanks for saying that, Johnny. Happy gaming to you!
You can actually place individual mountains and change the size to small, med, or large. Uncheck 'randomize size' to have all the mountains stay the same size, then select the size you want in the scale bar.
Roge Nice! Thanks for the tip.
Hey did anyone else notice that the loading screen when saving is actually the outline of the DnD dice that is used to play?!?!
Thanks from Brazil, this is helping shining some homebrew adventures. Keep the good work.
omg I've been looking all over the internet for something like this...! Thanks so much!
Have been looking for something like this for a month. Thank you so much!
Cool!
Very thankful for this video as I have been looking for a program that allows a non-artistic person such as myself the capability of taking ideas and concepts and transferring them into reality. New subscriber.
This is Awesome! Thanks so much for showing us this. This is something I've been needing for a very long time.
Thanks for making this video. I never would have found this tool if I hadn't seen this video. I plan on writing some books soon, and this will be very helpful to create the maps of the different islands and continents.
Cool! Glad you like it.
Wow, I love that tool. Thanks to you, I found what I was searching! You got a new suscriber now
Just what I was looking for! Thanks a lot for the video, man! :)
fantastic and simple intro vid, i appreciate the effort
A quick tip, I found it easier to create more realistic looking coastlines by roughing it in with a large brush, then using a tiny brush in subtract mode to cut out the round parts, works faster than drawing it in with the tiny brush. Can't wait for the full version of this to come out!
Jeefrs Thanks! I'll have to try that out.
Thank you so much for showing this, I have been losing my mind over trying to draw a map of my world.
Thanks for this, I never heard of InKarnate before I came across your vid. I had a play along with it. What I found was: you can get much better looking coastlines if you subtract afterwards. This works because it's similar to erosion I suppose. Take a small brush size and go at the edges of your landmass, eroding away. You will get more realistic edges and can also get the off shore islands that look right. Now I am going to check out some of your other videos, because I love fantasy map making.
+Gabriel Marks I completely agree with this.
Yeah, a lot of people have mentioned that technique since I made this. It definitely works better. :)
you can use substract tool to make it more natural/ rouged
Great video! Thanks for doing this, looks pretty interesting. Might give it a try since I don't have quite the eye for detail when it comes to drawing quite like you do Nate.
- Nikky, RPBeanie
RPBeanie Great, Nikky. I think you'll enjoy it!
Oh thank you so fucking much! I have searched and searched and searched for something like this! I couldn't find anything that I liked, and I don't have Photoshop, and GIMP just goes completely over my head. This is so easy to use, and it's exactly what I need. Thank you so much for promoting this! I never would have found it on my own.
Awesome. Glad you found something that works for you!
Thanks a lot for this. Really appreciate it @WASD20.
Just stumbled on this. Nice overview.
Loved Inkarnate just started using it the last couple days. It has made everything look so much cleaner than using Gimp2. Just a time saver.
Yeah, I really need to revisit it again.
Thanks to you i finally have a relevant cool looking map !!
If you want a really quick coastline, you can use a large or medium size "add" for the basic shape. Then create a small "subtract" sculpt and go along the coastline. If you cut in a little deeper it makes small islands off the coast. Anyone know of a sci fi version?
I am so telling my tutor at collage about this site
guna make some things so easy
keep up the epic work
not letting me use the brush, got any ideas on what to do?
Looks cool, can't wait to use it. Good video by the way.
+Gonroz Thanks!
the save icon is kind of cool it is doing all the dice shapes it would be a cool screen saver
Very nice video. Thanks a ton.
I'm not exactly artistically inclined (Drawing-wise), and I've been writing a novel that's become difficult to envision. So, thanks for this video, currently using the program! Subbed as well.
Thanks for the explanations!
That is way cool, thanks for showing us this. I think I'll try my Bamboo drawing pad with it though and see how that goes. I can't draw for beans with my mouse.
I accidentally clicked at the brush tool and then on blocks. Can I remove the blocks entirely or can I now only choose between hex and blocks? Because withe the blocks/hex it looks awul
Absolute legend, thanks man!
I care very little about map making however Nate your content draws me in, still digging that intro by the way.
Have you tried Syrinscape at all? I'm seriously considering getting it however I've not heard many brigade folk mention it.
Sam Evardson Thanks so much, Sam. Someone I don't even know made that intro and sent it to me. Pretty great!
I have tried Syrinscape (trial). It was a cool way to get some music and sound effects if you want that. I have not found sound effects something I really want to tinker with while running a game, but that's just me. I hear good things though, and my experience was positive.
How to make the map ... you know ... bigger? I can't copy one of my maps on inkarnate, because is the screen is too small
Genius ! Thanks a lot for showing this
Looks quite nifty!
omg finaly i found it thanks dude really big thanks :D
Any suggestions for a program that would be best for a board game map of a medieval town? I've messed with this and DPS. It's not a RPG. Thanks.
Really helpful. I needed this for the fantasy story that I'm starting to write. You seem like you are stimming though sir xD
Thomas Anderson Whats your story about? 😄
So glad i found this video so early
Nice work mate, looks like a cool tool! :)
Thanks!
Why can’t I do anything on the map? I’ve tried all the tools but none of them let me actually do anything and it’s very frustrating
Thanks for the video man!
i'm on their site but all i can do is draw basic background. i can't change colour or add elements. where do i find this software?
Thank you for this video, I found it to be extremely helpful! :D
Great, thanks!
Thank you so much for this!!
It looks like Australia...
It does, sort of.
no it fucking doesnt
Georgian Mapping yeah... pretty sure he hasn’t seen Australia before..
It did before he did his time jump.
I am having problems with not being able to change the objects or brush when making my map, any ideas?
+Ben West - Hmm. Not sure. I know that Inkarnate has changed quite a bit since I made this particular video.
i must make a 1.000 miles square map.... that will take a while...
Good luck
Well 1 square mile can't be that hard.
Ked Viper XD
I tried to play but the color doesn't work
Nice intro to InKarnate. You Should do an update video as there are a lot more features since you did this video.
+Scott Dewar -- Thanks. Probably will do an updated video sometime in the next couple months.
Is there a way to make bigger maps?
so what does this program add that would not be available in conventional photo editing software such as gimp, or paint.net, or a pirated version of photoshop?
It's just easier. It's all pre-made. While you can download certain brushes for photoshop that do roughly the same thing, that's work and this just makes it a cinch.
I found it easier to get the rough shape of the land down using a larger brush and then erase out my jagged coastline than to draw the outline with a small brush. They should really add a "Fill" option. :o
That's what I've heard too. Definitely sounds like the way to go.
They definitely deserve to make some money off it. It is amazing. Also the save shapes are the dice shapes.
Derek Wise I totally didn't even think of that at the time :)
WASD20 Yeah I didn't even pay attention until you said and they have shapes on the save thing and the pyramid shape of the D4 went the the cube of the D6 and it clicked lol.
how do you export these or save to desktop?
thank you so much, you really help me with that video, :)subscribed
Do i have to sign up and then open it?
thanks for the video
Very good !!! thank you !!
phone rings in background XD im DEAD
Awesomesauce
Hi, I just signed up for the beta and I don't have half of the options you're showing here. Any explanation..? Did they just...take away a bunch, or is there some version I'm missing?
Hmm. Not sure, sorry! I haven't used it in over a year, but my impression was they had only ADDED features, not removed them.
I need this!
you use the add too to get a basic shape and then use the subtract tool to make it look more jagged, it doesnt take much time at all, i think you should re make the vid showing that it doesnt take that long
+Kurru Mitsumi Yeah, a couple people have told me that. I probably won't remake the video, but thanks!
it reminds me of Australia
Watched two videos. Subscribed.
Thanks!
Anyone know how long it takes for inkarnate makers to make my account pro. I signed up 3 days ago and payed 25$ and im still waiting
Bummer! I'd bug them in all the places. Facebook, Twitter, email, etc.
This site has some serious upgrades, if you haven´t, you should check it out.
Thanks for the tip!
SO COOOOOOLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't do anything. None of the tools (other than naming the map) work.
Great video. Have you ever considered reviewing roll20.net ?
I tried signing up but it didn't work , just sayys "we're sorry but something went wrong" Is the site still working?
It's still working for me. Not sure, but I know many others have had issues. Try a different browser.
When i go to the website, i get an erlier version of Inkarnate, very different to that one on this video.. can someone help me, pls?? tx =)
More than likely it's a new and improved version. It has changed a lot since i made this video.
Yes.. i guess you are right.. its a pity, because it has fewer icons now =(.. Thanks for the answer =)
loco este programa esta super sarpado =D
Y esta aun mejor ahora. Siempre esta mejorando.
one could use this for world-building when writing fantasy.
Absolutely.
Is it possible to create this on top of an existing map or picture?
I don't think there is a way to do that in Inkarnate.
Then I guess I'll need to get good at photoshop. I've got a few maps I want to use for a novel (which your videos really helped me draw btw) and I was hoping for a short cut for the immediate future. Thanks for the help though.
Good luck! Thanks for watching. :)
Yo, what's the song you use for your outro? Can't for the life of me remember the name.
I think it's called hot heat.
Love it, now how do i support it :D
but thanks for showing its friggin amazing :)
almost 1 jair later still in beta
I made an island in my world covered in frost for eternity, and whoever lives there has a small chance of survival
guess where the players start out
It'd be nice to be able to use with a tablet :D
Are non-Roman characters available in the program?
Not sure. It has changed a lot since I did this video.
Is this Westeros/Essos in the beginning of the video?
+Serry 0:58 :)
I knew it. I knew that i should have watch longer than the first few seconds.
Damn it. ^^
XD
has any big changes happened with this software?
Yep. Pretty big changes, I think.
What kind of game is this? Is it like ck2 or Ron? Or?
Subscribed!
