I am looking for a program that will let me create my world in preferably in 3-D I want the program because I need something to look at so I know how to place it all on a grid map for minis. I keep making the scaling wrong. I draw the buildings off scale and then that throws off the roads and that screws over what the town looks like. :( If you think some tips on drawing the towns, landscapes and dungeons will help just fine I will take those. I understand you can not post links to other sites. Thank You for any of the help you can provide.

Expensive, but if you are a serious mapper, well worth it. I'm a fantasy mapper, and used all of those for years. Joe Slayton did the work / programming on Fractal Terrains, he's got a yahoo group and such that I'm part of. Great guy. He also wrote "Wilbur", which is a great 3-D large scale fractal continent mapping tool. What kind of scale are you talking? What kind of maps do you need? The key is go to profantasy's site, and look at the sample maps they got stashed away there. You'll likely be amazed.
