so im looking into making a new map for a new world im wanting to create...

i have an idea on what i want it to be, but i dont want to do a hand drawn map i want it to be a little more high tech so to say...


anyone have ideas of programs i can use or maybe some photoshop tutorials i can follow to make one?


everything i have found doesnt work for what i want to do or are really really complex...     

If you've got money to spare, I recomend checking out www.profantasy.com/ and their Campaign Cartographer 3 program. it's amazing for mapping out worlds, they've also got expansions like City maker, for campaign cities. plus they have annual expansions, that have texture packs and upgrades. It can get pricey but I'd sya it's worth it, once you get it and watch the tutorials.

Using Campaign Cartographer 3 and the 2012 annual expansion (which has some great texture packs) I made this map for my current campaign i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii560/TheEn...

and here's  a city map i found on google which is really cool using the city map maker expansion and one of the annuals.

i'd also like to note that after watching the tutorial video on youtube that it links you to upon using the program, it's pretty easy to use. In 3 hours I watched the tutorials, and made that map of my world that I linked to you.

         They post user submitted maps made from their programs, so you can get a better idea of the range of the programs, if you're remotely interested.
