Cartography Shop is a modeling program for creating architecture and calculating lighting. The program is ideal for game environments, 3D presentations and other commercial applications.

This is a tool designed for the mass production of media, using the fewest number of mouseclicks possible to generate the high-quality results you need.

Cartography Shop features lightmapping, constructive solid geometry (carving), vertex manipulation, translucent and masked shadow effects, "static" (high-detail) meshes and a configurable entity system. The program exports to: Microsoft DirectX .X files, Half-Life / Quake 3 Arena .map files and also supports new DLL plugins for additional import and export functions.

License Free Cartography Shop is written by a published game programmer, with an understanding of how hard it can be to write a game without decent tools. The Quake and Unreal editors are great, but involve obscure file formats and can't be used without paying huge license fees. 3DS Max and other modeling programs are designed for high-end production and are typically overkill for creating game maps. With Cartography Shop independant game developers have, for the first time a map editor designed especially for them. Cartography Shop uses common file formats, is designed specifically for game levels, and comes with no licensing fees or legal strings.

The newly released version 4 is a complete rewrite of the editor, with an all-new OpenGL engine and faster 2D rendering. Tested on dozens of different computers, Cartography Shop 4.1 provides rock-solid stability, improved performance, and several new features.

Build entire worlds for your games with this easy to use 3D package.

• Extremely fast object manipulation and drawing, inspired by Worldcraft and designed for efficiency!
• Lightmap calculator and exporter
• Select and texture objects or object faces
• Export .X, Save native .CSM files, or export to your own file format
• Stretch, position, mirror, flip, and rotate meshes
• Configurable entity system

• Adjustable viewports
• Accurate grid snap - no cracks or gaps in your maps!
• Compatible with virtually any game engine

Cartography Shop is designed with two ideas in mind: ease-of-use and flexibility. Typical modelling packages are hard to learn, and even when you do, they're hard to use for efficient game level production. Cartography Shop allows fast level design with automatic UV mapping, a configurable entity system, and the ability to move and resize objects just by clicking and dragging.
