Hi there! I try to recreate my old flash game [Pursuit of Hat](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD760inUzYY&t=120s) and I want it look similar to origin game with hand-drawn organic shapes instead of tiles. Is there any ways to get png image of tilemap wich I could use as a template for drawing in another graphic editor? Thank you! ---

In flash I used to draw terrain on top of sprites that represents collision objects directly in editor. But how I could draw image (in photoshop for example) of terrain that fits perfectly to tilemap that represents collision shape? And I thought about image of tilemap that will serve me as guide in order to reach that goal. ---

I think this is what you are looking for: > **[Tile source collision shapes - Defold tile source manual](https://defold.com/manuals/tilesource/#tile-source-collision-shapes)** > > A Tile Source can be used by a Tilemap component to paint tiles onto a grid area or it can be used as the graphics source for a Sprite or Particle Effect component. You can also use the Collision Shapes from the tile source in a Tilemap for collision... You can define collision shapes for every tile by using Collision layer. You can draw this layer(png) by using photoshop or whatever you want to use. ---

Thank you for reply, but this is not exactly what I looking for. My fault “fits perfectly to tilemap” is not the case. I want it looks more organic like on video. How I see process of making levels. I create all collision and game objects and than test it. If it past the tests I draw from scratch all environments. I do not imagine how to redraw all terrain every time I want to fix something. ---
