[QUOTE="D'karr, post: 6168663, member: 336"] Campaign Cartographer with Fractal Terrains, both by Profantasy, are able to do what you are talking about. Fractal Terrains includes geological data that will map earth as it currently stands, and from what I understand of it you can lower and raise the level of the seas so that underwater land bridges would appear. You can then take the resultant and import it into Campaign Cartographer to modify to your heart's content. You can also export it to a regular image and modify with a paint program. Fractal Terrains is designed to allow the user to rapidly create a realistic looking world with "real-world" elevations, etc. You can tweak settings and pretty much generate a world in seconds. Keep tweaking and the world changes. I have only used a friend's laptop with Fractal Terrains once, and it was very interesting. Campaign Cartographer (CC3) is a very detailed mapping program, and I've been using it for years. I love the software, though I had some rough spots when I first got it. Be forewarned, the software (CC3) has a steep learning curve as it is designed off a CAD engine, not a painting program. So the usual paradigm of windows-based software is turned on its ear and it can become very frustrating. When I first bought the software I almost returned it because I could not get it to do anything I wanted. Someone very wise suggested that I go through the tutorials. After I did so, I was getting the software to do amazing things. I personally have not used Fractal Terrains but you can get a lot of information from [URL="http://profantasy.com"]their site[/URL] and [url="http://forum.profantasy.com"]their forums[/url]. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
