Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Waldonate, I have a question for you. I understand you wrote FTPro. (great program by the way). I want to export a FTPro planet into CC3, I know the option to export to CC2, but it's not in the detail or colors I choose. I use Terra Firma, and the color schemes for it is great, but it only exports in the colors FTPro uses as defaults. My questions are as follows: 1. How do I get ALOT more details from the export like I drew it in CC3. (I know it wont have all the details but something close would help alot). 2. How do I get the color scheme from Terra Firma to export with it? If I think of more questions, I'll post you. Thank you very much. -lee smith
