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. 6d5b4406ea Title: Arcane MapperGenre: Design & Illustration, Early AccessDeveloper:Arcane ArchitectPublisher:Arcane ArchitectRelease Date: 28 Apr, 2017 Arcane Mapper Free Download Key Serial Number Love it!It's really easy to do your own Dungeon map for your next Pen&Paper Round.It might take a while editing and Inporting all the Pictures you want. But if you have everything you need, its very easy and very fast. All i need now is some picture editing programm.Issues:-You cant drag items back. The item will get struck. if you want to remove it just select it and press DEL.-If you Drag room corners you cant put them back. if you want to have them back where you took them, you HAVE to press Strg-z (and even that command kinda doesnt work, i have to click it at the top. but maybe its just my European qwert keyboard. so maybe strg-y works.-It's kinda Impossible to do Ring Rooms-I can't edit tags. like adding or removing them or change their names or something like that. also i couldnt find the tag-search, so i simple click a tag and it filters all items based on the clicked tag(s). 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.. WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE!?. Developer is gone; Project is dead. There are better options out there. Too bad, I was really excited for this and was really spreading the word to my tRPG friends.. I am requesting a refund. This is WAY to buggy, even for an open beta launch. The first dungeon I attempted to create was riddled with problems. There's no bridge support, there's lighting hiccups, missing textures, and a hell of a lot of stuff that was promised that doesn't work. I am appalled at what the devs believed to be okay to show the public. I may purchase again when this is a FUNCTIONING PRODUCT.. When I first saw Arcane Mapper, I was drawn in by its simplistic UI, and its impressive lighting system. This software is great if you intend to make small-scale, simple maps, or rooms for a larger map one at a time. Disappointingly, it seems that the dev has abandoned ship, which is a shame because this software showed great promise, and still does. Hopefully, someday, Arcane Architect will pick up the project or an update will drop that fixes some of the aggravating bugs associated with making larger maps, but until then, I can only recommend this software to those who understand that it is practically abandoned and, while still useable, is a bit frustrating in its current state. For what it is, however, $10 isn't unreasonable, but there are (at least in my opinion) better, more developed tools available for this sort of thing.TL;DR: I can only recommend this software if you accept that it's abandoned and a bit buggy when dealing with larger maps, but IMO, there are better tools available.. It kept on crashing and not saving any of my work. After the 4th crash I got my money back.. Had a lot of potential. Too bad it's dead.. Love it!It's really easy to do your own Dungeon map for your next Pen&Paper Round.It might take a while editing and Inporting all the Pictures you want.

A rocky start, but now we're live, folks! The program offers everything it suggests in the videos, and should do so for both Nvidia and AMD cards now. The developer has been very willing to work with his customers to make this tool more accessible from the start.My prior review had detailed a few bugs that are no longer present, and a few misconceptions that have since been answered. (rather quickly, too!) While the program is still fairly simple, this only gives it a starting point to grow in a ton of directions that I can't wait to see.If you're new to GMing tabletops, this is a great tool work with; No need to learn layer masking or any other image editing software unless you want post editing. You can simply draw your map, choose your textures dynamically (meaning no constant editing to see how different walls and floors work together), and then light it up. It's all very hands on, and doesn't feel overwhelming or technical, despite the power it gives you. No more drawing boxes in MS Paint. Get that♥♥♥♥♥♥outta here.Now, as it currently stands, most WILL want to work with their maps they export from here in post, if they want things like texture fading between floors,outdoor elements, etc. But, again, this is clearly a work in progress that I can only imagine the dev(s) are working feverishly to further.Should you pick it up? If you're new to mapmaking, definitely. If you've been doing it for a while and already have a grasp on image manipulation, probably not YET, but if you want a quick way to get a clean, easy-to-work-with base for more complex maps, this is it. I've been GMing tabletops for over a decade and this has already been helpful in making quick maps on the fly.
