CC3 Feature Suggestions

#1 on my wishlist is for lighting effects to render correctly when multiple passes are required to export a .jpg or .png image.

#2 on the wishlist is for bevels to render correctly when an entity below it has a blur or glow effect (or some textures) applied. As it is, I always end up with a million little triangles along the bevelled entity's edge.

Ooo, and use the Centre Mouse to zoom in an out! That would be soooooooooo useful!

I think overall unifying the drawing conventions added by CD3 and DD3, etc, would be a good idea overall.

Hi,
I'd like to see the ability in CC3 to zoom into a view, save that view as a seperate map, and them be able to work on that map in more detail.

Definitely improve redraw speeds. Also, I find that I get "not responding' messages when turning on sheet effects. Subsequently I've started using photoshop as it's bullet proof. A shame really as I've used profantasy for years but there just seems to be a cieling on the size of maps I can produce until speed becomes a major issue.

Looks like it's been a few years, and a couple CC iterations, since anyone posted in this thread, so watch out for zombie suggestions.

1. Dedicate mouse scroll wheel to zoom. I think this one is a zombie.
   
2. Add the File/Close command to close the current drawing without closing the program.
   
3. Use a cursor instead of cross-hairs/box or, at least, give users the option to choose one or the other.
   
4. Reverse the command-selection order to select where/what and then choose a command to apply to the selection. For an old fart with poor eyesight and shaky fingers, this is probably the most important issue.
   
5. Add the Edit/Delete command.
   
6. Rewrite the manual and quick start guide for CC3+. Telling users the basics are the same as in previous versions isn't helpful when a new user has no idea what the basics are.
   
7. Create a series of 6-8 minute videos for new users. Use voice-over and a script rather than real-time audio.
   
8. Define non-standard terms such as Overland Mapping, etc.

That's it for now.

In response to number 7 there is a YouTube series that helped me get started. I think they had it linked on the splash screen of CC3+ when you first open the program.
