Profantasy Affiliate: For the Future of Guild Contests

[Redrobes]

You might like to look at this thread. It was done after a challenge and I made the church in it. There are 6 movies showing different features responding to questions about VTT's in general and how mine tackles the issues raised and I think all are relevant but the first one or two will show what you are looking for w.r.t the zoom to house level. It goes on to show jumping maps into the church and editing the map from there.

Edit -- Also this thread with general FAQ on the app.

but gimme half hour to upload the demo vids in post #16 & 17 or so which also has zooms to house & person level using maps from this site. I removed them to make space a while back.

I fully agree with you, Jkaen. In fact, that's what I tried to say in my initial post within this thread. There's little point in doing banner advertising only...



I'd love to see more ViewingDale stuff. Perhaps a map of a building (1st image)... which then zooms out to show a settlement or city (2nd image)... which then zooms out to show an entire region (3rd image)... 1 map, 3 images... That's one of the features which caught my eye when I read about your software.

On a slightly related note, I have posted on the NBOS(Fractal Mapper) forum suggesting that some of the members also join and post up some samples. So far, I have not heard anything back in the affirmative.

Cheers for posting those links, Redrobes. The engine speed is very impressive. I liked how quickly you were able to zoom in and out of that huge map and move the mapping objects around without ViewingDale even freezing for a few seconds. Cool stuff.

I think that I've read your message, as I'm also subscribed to NBOS' mailing list. There's a subscriber who, if I remember correctly, has previously used CC, then switched to Fractal Mapper and keeps telling how great it is. But I, for one, haven't seen a lot of FM maps. There are a couple of examples on the NBOS website. However, most of them consist of vector symbols and the images don't include any shadow effects and the like.

I don't believe that these forums should be (mis)used as a sales pitch by the developers of mapping software but a little more communication with the community and posting examples of created maps as well as tutorials would be beneficial both to registered members and developers.

We've sent out vouchers for the affliate program, and we'll be improving it over the next couple of months. I suggest if you want more participation here from the CC3 community, you post a monthly link to your competition over on the ProFantasy forum.

I keep an occasional eye on things over here, and have entered one competition, but our map making efforts really have to be devoted to commercial ends. I could post maps here produced in-house for various purposes, but I don't want to contaminate your boards with what could be construed marketing material. Maybe we could have a single "maps produced with CC3" thread for this purpose?
