Just making sure:
If I am right, there is not and they will not make a way to export 3d maps to other places like Foundry VTT? So they wasted all the time on the 3d models for 2d maps?

This is a 3d map maker that only puts out 2d?

I have the same doubt, I mean ok I generate a nice 3d map and then? I can just print it on paper? I would be fine even with a "2d export" to fountry vtt but with the walls, doors, light sources... already in place and not just a background image

Thank you for your question! You're correct that our maps don’t export in full 3D, and we don’t have plans to offer 3D exports.

However, we feel as do many in our community, that creating maps in 3D provides a richer experience, even in a top-down view. When exporting, our maps include depth from a 3D perspective, giving walls and objects more realistic shadows and detail. Additionally, we offer tools such as cinematic and first-person camera modes that allow you to capture different views and angles of your maps to give visual handouts to enhance the immersion. While we focus on 2D exports, the 3D creation process offers added visual details that wouldn't be possible with 2D-only mapmakers.

That is literally what DA does

I will say this. For the value (its on sale NOW), DA is by far the easiest, best supported and detailed map making software available. This program also offers first person point of view for cinematics and potentially for live games. I have used it for about 5 months now, and players are tripping over themselves on a waiting list to play in my game.

ill never understand why they have 3D focused features like seeing the map in first person when the devs don't have intentions of making able to export on 3D
