Create and Paint Your First Custom Sail Design

Open the Heraldry Table Editor

Locate a Heraldry Table workstation and interact with it to open the 3D sail editor. You'll see a 3D model of your chosen ship type (Cog, Brigg, Galley, or Drakkar) displayed in the center.

Select Your Tools and Paint

The editor provides several painting tools:

  • Freehand brush for organic strokes
  • Straight line tool for geometric patterns
  • Flood fill to quickly color large areas
  • Color palette to choose your design colors

Click on individual sail sections to paint them. Use the symmetry feature to mirror your design across the sail automatically, saving time on repetitive patterns.

Navigate the 3D Model

Use your mouse to pan, rotate, and zoom around the ship model. This lets you see every angle of your design before committing it. Rotate to check how patterns look on different sail stages.

Save Your Draft

Once satisfied, save your design as a local file. This draft can be reused across different worlds and servers without needing to recreate it.
