Show me your science fiction maps!
This is so impressive! I'm going to have to dust off Cosmographer. My campaign world has three moons, and one of the religions is heavily influenced by astrology, with the gods represented as constellations. I did a rudimentary mockup in PowerPoint, of all things, but this gives me a lot of ideas for how to use ProFantasy software to do a much more sophisticated version.

New user from the Netherlands, nice to meet you all!
Welcome!
For me, I learned the most from the video tutorials.
I spent years (off and on) trying to teach myself with the PDF manuals before I started to watch the videos. Joe Sweeney’s “Parrot Island” video made things click for me and set me on my way.
I would recommend going through the Learning CC3+ videos as well as Joe Sweeney and Josh Plunkett’s series that go through the process. Then the Campaign Cartographer Concepts and Quickies. The Live videos are great and I learn something new with every single one, but I’d get the basics down with the other videos first. (You may get up to speed faster than I did and might end up skipping around.) Also, bear in mind that some of the oldest videos talk about techniques that are now out of date but the fundamentals are still helpful.

[WIP] Greco-Roman Temple revisited: Dungeons of Schley style
I have a habit of showing my work-in-progress and then forgetting to post the final. So here it is with two different roof styles. (For comparison, you can see the version done in the Marine Dungeons style in my gallery.)
Oh, and here's the FCW if anyone is interested in using it.

[WIP] Greco-Roman Temple revisited: Dungeons of Schley style
Here's the inside of the temple. The floor uses white marble tiles that come from DD3, I believe.
The reflections, as with my original temple, are custom-made symbols that are meant to be reflections from the glow of mosaics made from luminescent crystals. I need to remember to remove them when I share the FCW.
The pillars use Mike Schley's ornate columns. Zoomed out, they look a almost "smudged," and the plain columns look sleeker. But zoomed in, the details of the columns' base is nice, and probably more like what a fancy temple would have.
