[How to create a top overview of GR maps?]

[How to create a top overview of GR maps?]

Is there anyway to convert the maps so they can be opened in 3D Max? seems like the easiest way but cant find anything about it.

I also was thinking about useing the mapoverview in IGOR but cant find anything to zoom out with, it seems locked. but patching a lot of them together could work combined with the generated command map (see below). atleast would work faster than patching something together from loose RGB files

Generating a command map in IGOR(IT version) makes a grey map overview with a lot of detail could be usefull for adding some extra detail. no color or texture tough.

[How to create a top overview of GR maps?]

Im currently retexturing the original GR and DS command maps making them fullcolor and more detailed like the IT command maps. for most of these I use the ground RSB files found in the GR Origimiss and mp1 Map folders but i noticed that some urban maps like Embassy, Vilnuis and Red Square dont have these since they mainlyexist out of roads. also maps like swamp dont have clear ground files

I was wondering if it is posible to make a (screen)shot of these maps from top view (above maps) so i could use these as a commandmap overlay. does anyone know if this is posible and if so how. it would save me a lot of work.
