Nichendrix, have you seen the sci-fi content available for MapForge? Between that and the free sci-fi artwork that you can download from sites like rpgmapshare.com, you should be all set to crank out a bunch of great-looking sci-fi maps in very little time. The sci-fi genre has been largely ignored by most other mapping apps, and that's exactly why I made a point of not doing the same with MapForge.
Looking for battlemap creation software that can be used to create gorgeous print-resolution output on Windows or Mac OS?
Give MapForge a try.
I'll take a look at it as soon as I get home. Many thanks for sharing these links.Originally Posted by heruca
EDIT:
I've just did a quick look on the links during my lunch break and I loved the contents of both. Do you know if these tile packs for RPG Map Share are for exclusive use with it, or I could somehow import them on FM8 or CC3+? If it cam be used by the other programs, I'll probably ending up buying most of them.

All the content on rpgmapshare is free to download; there's nothing to buy. The files are typically in PNG format, so they can be used with most mapping apps or image editors.

The content of rpgmapshare I understood that it is generic and not application dependant.
What I really wanted to know is if the content for MapForge (the sci-fi packs on the first link) can also be used in FM8 or CC3+ in any form, because in their entries it stated on their description that they only work for MapForge.
Theare some very interesting tiles there that I can totally see me using a lot on my maps.

The Add-On format is exclusive to MapForge, but much of the content is available elsewhere, if you really need to use it in other apps. For example, you could buy the sci-fi tiles direct from Pwork Wargames, and they'll be delivered as PDFs. Use a utility to strip the images from the PDF, resize them to the resolution you need, and organize the resulting files into easy-to-navigate folders to keep everything organized.
Another example: The content from Maker Games can be purchased on the Roll20 Marketplace as downloadable PNGs.

Are all Roll20 content sold as download able png?
If so it would be great, because most of the sci-fi content on MapForge is also available for Roll20.
