greecelightning5 12 Posted August 5, 2016 Just starting to build my first map, which is a small map to test and then moving on to my bigger better idea. I'm hoping some of y'all have some good up to date resources and tutorials to help me out. One thing I was wondering is what is the relationship between L3DT, Visitor3, and Terrain builder? I understand that L3DT is to make the map and edit it. I'm fuzzy on what Visitor 3 is used for and how to get a Satmap and mask map from L3DT. It feels, from what I have seen, like Terrain builder and Visitor 3 do the same thing. Another question to prepare for later down the road, how do y'all go about taking high res photos from real world positions, stitching them together, and getting them where they need to be? If any of y'all experienced map makers had extra time for me to send you questions that'd be amazing. Any other advice or tips y'all have feel free to throw them my way. Thanks in advance for your help guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tazmania720 16 Posted August 5, 2016 I am curious on the Visitor 3 thing too. I have a terrain in progress and only use L3DT and TB. When you are ready to place objects, look into the XCam addon, found on the Armaholic website. It is a lot more user friendly than TB when it comes to adding objects. As for the adding things to the sat map, I have used GIMP, a free replacement to Photo Shop, to add overlays or layers to the image. It will take some playing around to get the result you are looking for. Sorry for the lack of detail, but I am also a novice at this. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
