Token VBL - inverted?

Hi all

Has the idea of making the VBL generator do inverted VBL been discussed?

I would kinda open up the way for auto-generated VBL on maps ...

Searching fails me with this.

You can do a workaround if you can make an "inverted" image of the dungeon as a separate image, where the rooms are transparent and the walls are coloured and then generate VBL on that image, and layer it on top or below the original - that will go along way, it seems. Takes a little experience with GIMP or Photoshop, but it wasn't that hard once the idea hit me :wink:

Please expand on this. Its sounding like VBL can be generated from an image? Please advise if so

Yes. On the VBL tab of a token you can generate VBL. Works best with tokens with clean straight lines.
