Sci-fi map software with jpg output?

[CarlZog]

I'm working on maps of starships and space stations, and need an easy way to create them that will output to standard image files (jpg, gif, tif..) I can insert into documents.

Can anyone recommend a good program for this?

I've never used any mapping software, so you'll have to excuse my ignorance if this is a standard feature. I tried searching the forum for past threads, but they were all general "which one's best" talks.

I also NOT an artist, and I know nothing about Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, etc., so that's not really an option.

Since all the stuff I'm producing is far-future space opera, a program that includes or even specializes in that kind of objects would be particularly helpful. I'm not, however, concerned about printing 1-inch squares for minis; these are just adventure maps to use in player handouts.

Thanks.

Carl

Cosmographer Pro from www.profantasy.com

Lot's of base line sc-fi images and you can export the 'final' maps you make just fine.

That's an add-on for CC-2 Pro, right?

If so, several of the old threads indicated that CC-2 has a notoriously steep learning curve, and success with it is also somewhat dependent on artictic skill. True or False?

False CC2-Pro has been upgraded and enhanced that the curve is way down, you still need to do the tutorial but that is not a bad thing. The add-on Cosmographer Pro makes ship building a breeze, again you have to do the tutorial but that is to show you the flow of things.

Profantasy has a very active mailing list and support is amazing, if you have any issues you will have an answer in no time.
