I'm curious, does anyone know what the commercial guys (Paizo, WotC, etc.) use to create their maps?įinally, is there a walkthrough somewhere of how to use Photoshop to create maps? Zeus's maps look pretty spectacular, and I'm wondering how much he did using native PS, how much was add-ins or external bitmaps, etc.?įinally, is there a walkthrough somewhere of how to use Photoshop to create maps?

I'm sure my attitude will change with more experience, but I thought I'd post my experience so everyone has a data point in their decision. Hopefully my next effort won't take quite so long, but I find my initial impression, especially considering the cost, to be overall 6/10.

It took me the better part of 5-6 hours to really get ramped up on the software (watching and reading tutorials, exploring all the options, etc.). I found that neither overland mode, nor dungeon mode did exactly what I wanted, but eventually settled on dungeon mode, scattered some boulders, bushes and trees around, put a creek running through the middle and called it good. The first map I was trying to make was a large outdoor tactical map where my PCs would be part of a larger army battle. I finally broke down and purchased Campaign Cartographer/Dungeon Designer yesterday. Users can import their own (or downloaded) artwork, such as assets downloaded from the Dundjinni user forums,, DriveThruRPG, the Roll20 Marketplace, etc. May require as much as 4GBs of RAM for very large maps with many layers not 64-bit, so must often be run in 32-bit compatibility mode not intended for city maps or large-scale (e.g. drop-shadows, glows, blur, color/contrast/brightness adjustments, and bevel effects) Ten free content Add-Ons provide a great “Starter Kit”, usable without a license (low-resolution output) huge selection of additional professional content Add-Ons for sale, some of which can be used for published or commercial map projects supports print resolution as well as VTT resolutions artistic talent and technical skills not required. Support for layers, textures, and bitmap filter effects (e.g. Focuses primarily on tactical-scale battlemaps, but could also be used to create town/village maps and some area maps. Locally-installed application intended for creating great-looking maps quickly and easily, either from scratch, with the help of a random generator, and/or using professional content Add-Ons. $45-$100 (assets that allow for commercial use tend to command a higher price tag than those that are "Personal Use Only") Varies widely depending on genre and specific needs, but approx.
