3D table

The 3D table: the map standing up with its relief, animated or paper minis, and the camera with keyboard and mouse.

The 3D table stands the map up: the floor with its relief, raised walls and tokens as minis on the table, with a camera you can move, rotate and tilt. It is the same table, with the same tokens and permissions: only how it looks changes. Going back to the flat map takes one tap.

Where to find it

In the View menu of the header: See the table in 3D. Inside 3D, the same entry becomes Back to the flat map (P).

Requirements and permissions

The 3D table is a Legend GM feature: the GM's plan turns it on and all their players get it. If your plan does not include it, the menu entry shows a padlock and takes you to the plans. 3D uses the graphics card: on a very modest device it can stutter.

Moving the camera

The camera is handled with the mouse or the keyboard. The shortcuts are those of the 3D table group (see Keyboard shortcuts).

Controls of the 3D scene

Above the view there are controls to change the look without leaving 3D:

• M: fit the whole map.
• V: animated minis, with movement.
• L: paper minis, flat, like cut-out tokens.
• N: the setting around the map.
• Shift G: map pieces, to move, rotate and scale (the person running the game).
• P: back to the flat map.

What you see in 3D

• The relief you painted with Heights and stairs and ramps really rise; floors are seen stacked (see Floors).
• Walls rise to their height; see Fog, vision and light.
• The map's lights and fog still decide what each person sees.

Tips

Tip. To run a combat in 3D, leave the camera following the turn and use paper minis if a player's device is struggling.

Common problems

"The 3D entry has a padlock." The GM's plan does not include the 3D table; the entry takes you to the plans.

"It stutters." Try paper minis, a lighter graphics quality in your performance settings or the flat map.
