Hi there,
I have a fairly large game that I need to make a map of. How should I go about actually cartographizing my map? I’ve done things like script my camera to a top down view and screenshot it, but it doesn’t give me results that I’m happy with.
And to clear up some confusion with this, I mean a navigational map that you would look at to see different locations around you. I am NOT referring to map in the sense of the physical parts of a game.

Oh, you were talking about that map . If I reckon correctly, someone made a post about minimap creations, there we have the following options:
Notice: I fixed the error that would not allow the active box to be checked. It should be fixed now.
Hi guys, I don’t think anybody’s ever discovered my method for getting minimaps for games quickly, so I figured I’d go ahead and publish a tutorial on it.
The way it works is that, when the camera’s FOV is 1, it’s pretty much orthographic. So I set the FOV of my camera to 1 and zoomed out above to take a screenshot of my map
Unfortunately, the default camera can’t point straight down, so I m…

Thanks! I had been using that first plugin a while ago, but lost it and couldn’t find it, glad to be using it again.
