Campaign cartographer 3 changing symbol set how to#
But, with a bit of work (only a few hours) learning how to use CC3+, you can make very good looking battle maps - the one I reference above took 23 minutes - the video shows that! That is - you're not placing pre-designed tiles one at a time like some mapping applications - which produces maps fairly quickly, but you are very limited to the shape and styles of the tiles available. The thing to remember about any mapping application - you won't be able to produce an amazing looking map in 5 minutes - with the freedom to do lots of customizations. The same is true for Campaign Cartographer - take a bit of time to learn it, follow some of the tutorials (they'll also produce nice maps as the end result). People frequently complain about the learning curve of Fantasy Ground - usually because they make no effort to spend even 30 minutes learning it.

Yes, CC3 has a learning curve - any powerful piece of software has a learning curve, no matter what anyone tells you. Look at the video done by Xorn that shows how he made that map. As an example, see the map in this post: As mentioned in the post, this was produced with CC3+ and the Jon Roberts style. I have no artistic talent either, but I can product good looking maps pretty easily.

See the info here: ĬC3+ can be used for battlemaps - it comes with some symbol sets and there are a couple of free symbol sets to download - plus you can use other open source symbol sets. It also has some extra tools which make it easier for drawing rooms and corridors. OTOH, I'd be interested in hearing what makes DD worth the extra money.Getting Dungeon Designer gives you more symbols and tiles to use - which are always good for battlemaps. That's far more reasonable to me price-wise if CC can't produce floor plans without the DD add on. Is CC3+ just for geographical maps? Can I create battle maps with it or is the DD add on a must for this? I know a someone that has been using Dungeon Painter Studio to create battle maps and while it is still in early access, it only costs $15. How much learning does one have to do to get to the point of being able to create usable maps? I'm not really interested in creating dungeons (I'm more into modern and sci fi settings), but DD seems to be the tool needed for floor plans of buildings, etc. I've also always understood CC to have a steep learning curve and knowing myself well, I don't see myself investing a lot of time to master it. That being said, I have used Dundjunni in the past to create some decent battle maps. It's just another tool like a brush or pencil in the hands of an artist, but in my hands, it's not much. I'm no artist and have found no computer graphics program that can make me one. I too am looking to be sold on this bundle. OTOH, I'd be interested in hearing what makes DD worth the extra money.
