Make up your own mind what's more reliable.Īnother point important to you needs to be discussed:

If you doubt that, look at the FM8 forum and see how often problems are reported. Everest, and users constantly have problems with the program. However, it has a learning curve that could compete with Mt. It hasn't been updated since then.Ĭampaign Cartrographer can do most things that FM8 can (and a few that FM8 can't). In addition, the current and last Version 1.07 is from the Year 2004. You doubtless can find a copy somewhere, but you can't register online anymore. However, all of this is academic, because Dundjinni has been off the shelves for the better part of a year, and it's doubtful that it will return. It sounds like this could with time become an important tool for you. All are very easy to do in FM8.īefore we continue, let's make comparisons:ĭundjinni would be almost as good in your case, but it won't let you add shadows as FM8 does. You can take care of the depth by adding stronger shadows and/or shading in FM8. The depth may not be enough for you, and you might want to put dark areas into something like this. The floor plan above (which will be part of a map of the week release in a week or two) gives a quick sampling of what you can do in terms of what you're seeking. My choice and my own recommendation is FM8. I've worked with Fractal Mapper 8, Dundjinni (TM) and Campaign Cartographer (TM) 3. I do alot of dungeon crawls in city buildings so making temples, basements, houses is all up my alley. I have been looking for a program that will paint walls with some depth, give me some realistic looking floors and props.
