Great maps!

Do you mind if I use them for my camaign? Mapmaking is definately my weakpoint.

How good is Campaign Cartographer? Where can I get a copy? Also, how easy is it to use? I already have Dungeon Designer and it's very nice, but it seems a lot of people use Campaign Cartographer and it looks more like what you see in published products. Thanks.

It's expensive and has an archaic CAD-like interface. You can purchase it at http://www.profantasy.com. I had an opportunity to play with it and didn't like the interface, but lots of people like it.

Thanks! What other options are there if you want to create professional-looking maps? I mean the kind you see in d20 products.

My first thoughts were "Wow, you can do stuff like this in MSPaint?". So yes, they are great!

I use photoshop.

A different kind of map, but also done in Photoshop. (This is the low-res version, beleive it or not and yes... that bed is the size of a room by itself, lol)

nice work arravis. Do you use actions or pre made elements?

 

[Arravis]

All my work is original, except for the rugs which are just pics of real rugs scaled down. I use make my own actions buttons that I've made for wood, metals, etc... Most of the objects are made via the paintbrush or airbrush, and once I have a basic object I'll re-use it and use it to build other items from it. It's getting to the point that just the pre-done items alone nearly kill my home computer, hehe.

Willing to share some of that stuff?
