About CC3 CC3 is the fastest and most powerful map-making software for gamers. So if you're a busy person who wants the best, this is the software for you. In minutes you can learn all you need to rapidly create beautiful maps for campaigns, games and even real-world applications. A few simple but powerful tools do it all, and you can learn what you need in a matter of minutes. But CC3's new simplicity doesn't mean less power. In fact, quite the reverse. CC3gives you easy access to a huge choice of mapping symbols, styles and types. CC3 gives you fingertip control over every aspect of your mapping. With CC3, you draw exactly what and how you want. Whenever you need designs, whether it's roleplaying games or wargames, fantasy, modern or SF, CC3 can help you create them. From entire worlds and countries, to floorplans and furniture, CC3 can do it. You can map out your entire campaign world, place your troops in the field, or chart your galactic empire. So, who uses CC3? Authors, games designers and thousands of gamers and have mapped out the worlds of their imagination with CC3. We've improved CC3 to match their needs. Our mail-list users are extraordinarily helpful and resourceful - if you want ideas, they'll help. If you buy CC3, you are joining a huge, friendly community of like-minded designers. There are hundreds of user websites with a huge variety of maps. After nine years of software manufacture, we bring you quality plus diversity. CC3 - Because your imagination is unlimited More than just a map When you've made a great looking map, what do you do with it? In summary, view it, print it, export it and link to it. All CC3 drawing objects are associated with a particular layer; for example, you can put all the mountains on the MINERALS/MOUNTAINS layer. You can hide and show these layers to create customized maps. If you are playing a war game with a referee and three players, you would set up three extra layers, Player 1, Player 2 and Player 3. The referee can have a map with all the players' information showing, and the players have maps with only their own layers showing. You can view or print with any layers shown or hidden. View your map To navigate your maps, you can use the powerful zoom tools, even in the middle of a drawing something else. You can find and zoom to examples of text, save commonly used views, and even set up more than one window on your drawing. Because CC3's vector drawing objects draw very fast and do not lose any detail when you zoom close. Even bitmap objects redraw faster than in most common paint programs; and CC3 automatically selects between different resolutions of one bitmap to speed up redraws while providing the best resolution for the current view. CC3's objects also have a dimensions in real world units - this makes it easy to measure distances and print at any scale. Print your map When you print, you can choose the entire drawing, the current window, or a pre-saved view. You can print on one piece of paper, or across many, with no loss of detail. You can print at any scale, or fit your print to the paper. For example, you could print a starship deck plan so that one inch on the paper was two metres on the drawing, or your world at 1:10000000. Export your map CC3 allows you to export your map, or sections of your map to high resolution images for use in documents or the Internet. Choose from JPEG, PNG or bitmap file formats. You can also export your map in vector format for use in other CAD programs. Link your map CC3 lets you link areas of your maps to other CC3 designs. For example, you could link a city symbol to a map of that city, then link the city map back to its parent. In addition, you can link areas to documents or software: click on a village to see a Word? document with information about that village. CC3 System Requirements Find out what hardware you need to make CC3 fly Overview If you are just using vector art, CC3 doesn't make any more use of system resources than CC2 Pro - in fact it is the same speed. Effects, and the new bitmap artwork does require more heft, and CC3 will make full use of any memory you will give it. If you have an older machine, the most effective use of resources is more RAM. Of course, the brute force of a faster processor and a decent video card will make a big difference, too. As far as we can tell, there is no PC software that can handle large raster images more quickly. In summary, CC3 works very well on any modern PC, and pretty well on older ones. Minimum Requirements CC3 will work with lower specs than these, in fact it will work on any machine which runs Windows 98 or better. However, if you want to use the new artwork without too much slowdown, we recommend:
Maximum Requirements For fast performance, and acceptable performance with effects on all the time, try these:
Serial Activation If you have an internet connection on your PC, the CC3 installation checks your serial number is valid. It does not transmit any personal information. If you do not have an internet connection on the PC on which you wish to install CC3, you can fill out a web form. This will give you a code to unlock the software on a non-internet connected machine.  |
