Exporting into CC3 from FT3
Hello all, I am having some issues with creating my map for a fantasy world. I have full version of campaign cartographer (this was my buddies computer originally and he originally had bought the program), and I have downloaded the trial version of Fractal Terrains yesterday because I was really drawn to its apparent ability to spit out any kind of projection I choose of the globe I am editing, and the ability to send it to Campaign Cartographer. Only I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to work right.
If I export my map to CC3, its very blocky. Detail is extremely low, no matter what I do in the settings to change detail level.
If I try to just export a projection, Its infinitesimally small and useless.
What I am trying to do (I don't know how at this point so I'll just ask for help and wait to be pointed in the right direction) is to export a very large map, multiple very large maps actually, of my 'planet'. I need to be able to get several projections from all angles and close ups of certain regions. I am populating this 'planet' with fictional races and nations and cities and whatever else I need to populate it with, but I want my map to be scientifically accurate, because this project is planet-wide just sitting down and drawing a continent with pen and paper, well... that doesn't match up very well when you try to put it on a globe.
I just need someone to tell me what in the h#ll I'm doing, because I am lost. I've tried looking up guides and tutorials, but resources for these programs seem finitely limited to those who already know how it works. Which is bizarre to me because how can these people be needing advanced tutorial help when I cant even figure out how to make a d#mn map lol.
Please help me I'm slowly losing my mind

Also, if you've taken over the CC3 install from your friend, you and he should contact us, so we can properly transfer the license over to you (see our EULA).
The smell of fir trees and scented candles and the warm glow of brotherly love that surrounds us wherever we go.
Even an occasional douche bag can't spoil the joy of the season.
Happy Holidays everyone!
