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.

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.
