Use with Roll20?
I love the look and feel of this utility from what i've seen in videos and such. Just wondering how i would use this with Roll20. I assume you all know what that is? I guess i would export the map as a JPG? is there any other creative uses for this as all my games take place on Roll20.

So, you export it as a png, and you can choose your resolution. I think 70 px is the max for Roll20 but I don't actually know that, that's just what the studio recommends for Roll20. I do know that Roll20 has a maximum upload size of 10 MB or so, so sometimes you need to break up your larger maps into pieces and then upload them to Roll20.

There are other virtual tabletops that can be used as well, but I believe that is the primary direction of this tool is exporting pngs for use in virtual tabletops or printing for physical tabletops.

thanks for the info. looks good, does it offer anything in the way of outdoors landscapes? grass, trees, rocks, rivers that kind of thing? most of my home brew stuff takes place in open landscape. I just see the one image with trees.

Roll20 free accounts have a max upload size of 5MB. The exports from this program can sometimes be quite large, but you can use a website or service (example: http://www.imageoptimizer.net/ ) to reduce the size of the file.

Roll20 squares are 70px. When you export, this program will ask you what size you want each square to be. There are buttons you can click for common tabletop services, for example you can just press "Roll20" button and it will set it to 70px. This makes the maps fit perfectly for Rol20.

The program's current assets are limited, as it's still in early access, but pyro is adding more and more almost every day. I don't think it's unreasonable to say that this program is better for making indoor maps, but it's not impossible to make outdoor ones.

A download can be found here -> http://steamcommunity.com/app/592260/discussions/0/133258593384341115/ <- with 3,000+ new textures and objects, including a ton of new grass, dirt, sand, etc terrain textures. This should at least help with making outdoor maps. This is an INCOMPLETE collection - I only got part way through it before I had to take a break, but other members of this community are working on finishing it.
