What tools do you guys use to make your maps? In Roll20 I can just draw some walls and drop tiles and tokens on the map for everything. Can't get that to work in FGU.

Hi,

I've not got FGU installed atm.

I build (bad!) maps using CC3+ and then add them into the session.

I've been watching FGU videos and it seems you can easily make them, as long as you have graphics pack.

Look here and the ads running, Joshua runs map map and image stuff on Saturdays. So there should be plenty of videos to watch on Twitch.

I use CC3+ with cosmographer & some photoshop for my maps, see this thread, (shameless plug) https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?56533-Community-Expansions. I try to release a pack a month of some of the maps I use during my campaigns.

There should be no problem using them in unity, and they are pretty reusable for different adventures. If you have anything specific in mind drop me a message, I'll see what I an do and maybe include in the next pack.

I have already downloaded your maps and they are beautiful but at some point I need to make my own. I have CC3+ but will admit I am not very good with it. I also don't see any Sci Fi tile sets for it. Where did you get yours?

They are part of the cosmographer package, yes, CC3+ is a steep learning curve, but worth it in the long run if you really do need a lot of maps.

Thanks for the compliment!

I will look at this cosmographer package.
