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.

Cartography Shop was designed with the philosophy that ease-of-use and power are not antagonistic. No other modeler automates processes like UV mapping and light calculation, yet still allows low-level access to all elements of a scene. 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.

Serious developers have the option to license a special version of the editor that saves to your own file format and may be freely distributed to your users. Of course, using Cartography Shop to produce media for your commercial project does not incur any fees.

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.
