"If something is good, then even more of it must be better..." That's a common thread on so many of John's tutorials, and as it applies to making some visually outstanding products, he's 100% correct, IMO! Thanks for another inspirational video, Mr. Nelson.
Hi Mr. Nelson. This may have not been your intended use for the pen and ink styles, but I actually applied them to a fantasy map I was working on. Basically I play a video game that allows you to export a very simple bitmap image of the biomes within the game world. I imported that simple bitmap raster into Arc pro, and polygonized the different biomes, ice caps, oceans. Then I applied the styles you made available on esri's website to the vectors I made from the game's raster. The final product came out looking epic, I really can't thank you enough. These pen and stipple styles lent themselves really well to the fantasy aesthetic of the game I play. It was a cool project to adapt non georeferenced data (the bitmap from the game) for use with a GIS.
So I really can't thank you enough. I feel bad that I used styles you created but you had made a post in esri's site saying "please use these styles" (something to that effect)... So I did!
That's so helpful, thanks! And such a beautiful style! I'm was having a hard time replicating the random wave thing in fonts though, it ends up looking weird and deformed :( I'll try again and see if it works
Hey John, excellent GIS Videos. I have learned a lot as a forestry student at Michigan Tech. Do you know the best way to learn how to export GIS files for 3d CNC carvings?
thanks! Yes, i think it would look cool for slope mapping. you'd have to first convert your slope into a discrete polygon layer. then each category of steepness would have more or less dots.
...and...saved to my pirate style folder 🤣 In all seriousness, thank you for sharing your magic. Maybe one day I'll use what I've learned from you to do something original.
The graphic in the blog post where I show all the symbols and their names? I go to the "styles" section of the catalog view and I take screenshots of each symbol type. Then I assemble them in Photoshop. Sort of a pain.
@@JohnNelsonMaps oh ok ! i thought you use some kind of tool or so like this one for mapbox styles blog.mapbox.com/map-design-taxonomy-chart-ae17b23df019 jawg.github.io/taxonomy/

@@Jason-fp7vi I NEED TO SEE THIS AWESOMENESS!
This is so cool! Thanks for sharing the whole video and the style!
Thanks!
Great video! You, sir, are a wizard.
You have a gift... This is amazing
Thanks Jason!
Very helpful. Thank you so much!
great! i hope you have fun with it
Thank you for share this! I really appreciated!
you bet!
Brilliant! Thank you sir!

Text can be weird but it helps if the text is large and the wave amplitude is small.
thank you!!!
you bet!
Hey John, excellent GIS Videos. I have learned a lot as a forestry student at Michigan Tech. Do you know the best way to learn how to export GIS files for 3d CNC carvings?
Thanks Tryg! Unfortunately, no. So far.
Use blender or 3d max.
Great tutorial! Is there a way to do the same effect on the outside of a line instead of the inside?
yes, for sure, you just reverse the offset.
Hi, great video! can this style applied to slope mapping?
thanks! Yes, i think it would look cool for slope mapping. you'd have to first convert your slope into a discrete polygon layer. then each category of steepness would have more or less dots.

Brilliant
John i would like to ask how did you create that big chart legend in the style link ?
