Virtual Battlemap....Makes Dundjinni and Campaign Cartographer maps look weak....No Idea how much support it will get...Fan support is what makes Dundjinni the best Battle Mapper out there. No support from actual Company...Best thing about CC is that Profantasy does do some support (although for money) and is active. And we can use Fan art from Dundjinni. One of the things that make a map look great is consistent Art....Cartoonish and Photorealistic don't mesh much on a Map.
    It looks designed to do more 3D /Video Game Design than just a 2D Mapper. But one of the Best looking aspects of the game is that since it is designed more for video than printing is the light effects. Instead of a "Universal Sun" setting it appears to be "dark" with no light until you add Light sources...You get Flickering effects...You can rotate the Map from different angles and Degrees also...Not just purely Straight down.

    As the developer I have to say that yes.. I will be supporting the software and yes you build the maps in 3D but the software can take a variety of top down (Print Quality) images of what you build. And if you want to make some fancy area shots you can use a free roaming camera to take any image angle of image you want

    This program is a labor of love, not a pocket filling cash grab.. we will keep the costs low in hopes of promoting more playing and less paying!!

    ** If you can support us on Steam Greenlight all we need is a "YES" vote.. you can vote here: Virtual Battlemap Greenlight

    ** FREE Battlemaps from the program during development are available at the website.

    Have a good day

    I think that the best aspect of the Program is the 3D aspect...Always wanted to do 3d Walk through for my Players and those Lighting effects and Moving Water are something you just can't capture in 2d Mapping..
