About This Software What is it?Arcane Mapper is a mapping tool designed for Digital or Virtual Tabletops and printing for physical play. Put together high quality maps for D&D, Pathfinder, GURPS, Hero or any other Pencil and Paper RPG system - whether on the table top or virtual. It features a simple to use interface for drawing out rooms, adding objects and adding atmosphere with high quality lighting. Ideal for dungeons and interiors with support for outdoor environments coming before the full release.What is the idea?Arcane Mapper is an easy to use tool for creating maps for roleplaying games. The tool can produce top down, forced perspective 3D looking environments that mesh well with simple images for objects - no modeling or 3D experience required. With free assets available for private use on the internet, this software allows you to put together high quality maps for your games with less effort, without constraining you to predefined map pieces, tiles or limited assets. Easily render out high quality images for Virtual Tabletop games or print out maps for a physical tabletop game. Even save out .PSD files that preserve the layers for Photoshop if you are more artistically inclined.Longer term after the initial release, I am planning on adding Digital Desktop and possibly Virtual Desktop features with high quality real time lighting and fog of war with an easy to use interface for GMs and players.What editing and mapping features does the software support? Rendering high quality images (such as JPG, PNG, PSD) for use with Virtual Tabletops such as Roll20. Printing high quality images from your maps for Physical Tabletop play. Drag and Drop images directly onto your map, drop folders or selected files to add many images at once to your Library. The ability to import and export libraries where assets are already setup with scaling, lighting and shadow settings. Easy to use interface for adding objects to your maps, scaling, moving, rotating and placing them rapidly. Supports a full set of configurable hot keys. Full undo and redo support. Layers to organize objects and environments with the ability to decide which layers cast shadows and are affected by lighting. Draw arbitrarily shaped rooms and easily connect them together. Each room can have its own settings, textures and look. Draw pits, lowered sections, stairs and raised platforms right into your rooms. Procedural liquids to fill your pits and help you create sewers and water ways. Procedural details such as dirt, mold and spider webs. High quality lighting with soft shadows, any object can be a light and any object can cast shadows. High quality ambient occlusion to ground your objects in the map. Seamless exterior and interior maps with layers to support roofs. Multiple maps in one - see maps below the current map with fading or fogging - to give large buildings and dungeons a sense of depth.What systems does this support GPU that supports OpenGL 3.0 or newer Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10. Memory requirements based on art and map size, recommended 4GB or more.What about Mac and Linux?These depend on the demand and interest in the product. Ultimately supporting another platform is time consuming and so can only be done if there is enough interest. a09c17d780 Title: Arcane MapperGenre: Design & Illustration, Early AccessDeveloper:Arcane ArchitectPublisher:Arcane ArchitectRelease Date: 28 Apr, 2017 Arcane Mapper Download For Mobile Abandoned Software, only purchase if you are satisfied as is with the product. Updated ReviewWell, it appears that the developer has abandoned this product. At this time I can no longer recommend anyone sink any money into this product until after it comes out of early access. Which is something I do not believe will ever happen.Original review below:I'm giving Arcane Mapper a thumbs up for now because I think it has a lot of potential and will be a great way to quickly throw a map together.But for now, it's really not quite there. It regularly freezes up and glitches while drawing walls, making it nearly impossible to complete a map without something going wrong.I'm looking forward to seeing how the updates go in the next few weeks.. Looking forward to the updates to come. Huge potential for this program!. Edit: I was initially disappointed upon first trying this out, but I'm changing my review. My main issue was that I didn't understand where the props and room features were. The developer responded to me VERY quickly, and told me to simply drag and drop assets into the program. And wow, that alone made this VERY easy to use! A quick google search for the image you need, download, and then drag it right into your dungeon. It's still early access, but I'm really looking forward to future developments with this!. Abandoned software. It held great promise, and it can still be used if you have the patience to fill your library on your own, or if some community forms to assemble resources - however: It is prone to crashes. This issue becomes more and more likely the larger the map is - sure, you can circumvent it by making chunks, but that's tedius. I was very excited to see this and bought it up the day it came out - but it was a poor choice. You're likely better off using other tools if you want something streamlined and hammered out to a better extent.. I had hopes for the software since the author first posted about it. Finally got around to buying and trying it out for myself but the program is just frustrating to use to do any design with. If you have an exact idea in mind then I guess it wouldn't be terrible, but the program doesn't even let you move a room without having to delete and redraw the entire thing.. Had a lot of potential. Too bad it's dead.. WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE!?. Epic! just one thing is there a way to delete a texture that was added with out reinstalling the program (that ws the only solution i could find)?Keep uo the great work!. Well, I have been waiting for it for quite a while now and it's finally here. But just as my excitement was, was also my dissapointment when I read the negative reviews. I got scared that my game will freeze or crash everytime I try to get something decent. or that some functions may not work at all - but I worried for nothing.The program is working fine, didnt crash or freeze even after 60 minutes straight.Yes, the game needs some polishing but afterall I am absolutely happy with it.There is one thing that bothers me tho, the changing of the texture for the wall+floor doesnt work properly for me(I can change it, but it takes more time than it should), but I am sure that this will be fixed soon.But hey, it's early access after all.I created my first couple of dungeons and me + my players are absolutely satisfied with the outcome.May the force be with you.
