The asset files are provided in PNG format and are grouped with configuration files specifically for Wonderdraft. Once installed in Wonderdraft, these assets offer customizable, paintable, or pre-defined colors, depending on the pack description.

Additionally, since the assets are standard PNG images, they can also be used with any image editing software, such as Photoshop, GIMP, or other graphic design programs, allowing you to create fantasy maps outside of Wonderdraft.

Installing Wonderdraft Assets

For asset packs without a theme (e.g., Seafaring Megapack):

  1. Unzip the folder. For example, the Seafaring Megapack will unzip into a folder named “Seafaring Megapack”.
  2. Open Wonderdraft and click on “Menu” in the top left corner.
  3. Select “Open User Folder”, which will open a Windows directory.
  4. Double-click the “assets” folder.
  5. Copy or move the unzipped folder (e.g., “Seafaring Megapack”) into the assets folder.
  6. Create a new project in Wonderdraft, and the new assets will appear in the asset list.
  7. If the assets don’t appear, go to the “Assets” tab in Wonderdraft and ensure the asset packs are checked.

For clarity:

  • Here is where the folder should be placed: Windows folder with Wonderdraft assets folder installed
  • Here is where the pack should be checked in Wonderdraft: Wonderdraft interface with fantasy map assets loaded and checked

For asset packs with themes (e.g., Conan Complete Pack):

  • Unzip the files.
  • Copy both the “assets” and “themes” folders into the Wonderdraft User Folder.
  • These folders will merge with the existing “assets” and “themes” directories.

Using the Assets in an Image Editing Software

Since all assets are provided in PNG format, they can be used in any image editing software such as Photoshop, GIMP, or Krita.

How to use them effectively:

  • Black & White Transparent Images: Place them on a layer in Multiply mode to make the white background transparent. You can then add colors on a layer below.
  • Primary Color PNG Images: Adjust the hue of the primary colors to customize the colors as needed.
  • Full-Color Assets: Use them as they are without modifications.

Importing Brush Packs into Photoshop

If your asset pack includes brushes, follow these steps to install them in Photoshop:

  1. Open Photoshop and go to Window > Brushes.
  2. Click the hamburger menu (☰) in the Brushes panel and select Get More Brushes…
  3. Locate your brush pack file (ABR format).
  4. Double-click the ABR file, keeping Photoshop open.
  5. Your new brushes will now be installed in the Brushes panel.

Alternatively:

  • In the Brushes panel, click the hamburger menu (☰) > Import Brushes…
  • Select your ABR file and click Open.
