Do CC3 and CD3 have GM/player views like Fractal Mapper?

Thanks for the screenshots!

I think you can open two windows in CC3 by just starting the software twice on the same computer. You can then load the same map, hide stuff in one version (for the players) and keep stuff in the other version (for the DM). Drag both windows on their own monitor, et voila?

EDIT: reading jfrazierj's post again, it's not the same as what FM can do

Yeah - that's what I was thinking in terms of "jury rigging" the idea for CC3, but compared to Fractal Mapper, it would be a clumsy workaround.

In my opinion, CC3 isn't really a good tool for displaying maps to the players. The interface isn't responsive enough, particularly when you're using sheet effects. Unless you've got a far more powerful computer than I do, that is.

In the circumstance described, I would make a map with visible physical features in CC3, export it as a raster image, load it up in MapTool or another proper VTT, and place any hidden or moveable objects there. That also gives the benefit of fog-of-war, lights, and line-of-sight functionality.

I was just joking around. In your screenshots of Fractal Mapper, you can see a bit of a browser window with the Guild open in the background. At least one of those has a Moderator's drop-down thingy showing.

Man, I almost forgot about my super-awesome l33t H4X0r skilz. I can see why you were worried, now.
