    Very few FM users here, unfortunately. Lots more using CC3, which is similar to FM. I have FM, though I've never used it. Many of the members here create tutorials using various mapping apps from CC3, to GIMP even hand-drawn work. We desperately need some decent FM maps and tutorials. If you think you might place some kind of introduction to Fractal Mapper tutorial, we'd greatly appreciate it.

    FM is a regular Google Advertiser at the top of this forum, now and again.

    Welcome to the Guild - don't get everything sticky with your festish issue though!

    Yes, Fractal Mapper does have a 'steep' learning curve and takes quite a bit of effort and 'work-arounds' to get good quality finished product.

    I'll post a few of my best looking maps and if there is some positive feedback, then I'd be happy to do some FM tutorials for people. I learned just about everything with FM 'the hard way' via trial and error.

    Given the 'coded' name of this forum - designed to appeal to 'map-fetishers' and the sticky floor around here, I think its already too late. Try informing the other members - I just got here!

    Welcome to the guild. I have FM8 (started with 7) after learning that I could not gronk CC2. I played with it off and on for a year, working on some of my brothers campaign locations, but nothing serious. I then came here and started working in GIMP to get some more realistic looking stuff and use GIMP for my (very little) mapping time now. I would love to see some more FM stuff here though. I even posted on the FM email list trying to get some people over here a few months back, but I have only seen one other person using FM post here in the past 9 months or so I have been active. Now... get to postin!!!

    I apologize for stickyin up the floor...sometimes I just can't control myself.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
