    Post New to Mapmaking software

    Hi! I am new to mapmaking software and GIMP in particular and have attempted to follow RobA's tut: 'Using GIMP to Create an Artistic Regional RPG Map'. I found this site while researching different software to assist an author with improving upon her map. There is a goldmine of info on this site! Thanks to all!

    Hi Tuellmom, Welcome to The Guild!! This is definetely the place to learn how to make maps. The tutorials are great, and a wonderful place to get started, but don't be afraid to put your own style on the map.

    Hello tuellmom, Welcome to the Guild!

    In addition to RobA's, there is a great tutorial in the sticky section of Tutorials, called
    Quickstart Guide to Fantasy Mapping: http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=4276

    From there, go to
    Hand Drawn Mapping for the Artistically Challenged: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...ad.php?t=10655

    Once you have completed those tutorials, you'll be well on your way!!

    Hey Tuellmom! I'm a GIMP newbie and just joined the forum as well! Looks like we're in the same boat here. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on any "safe for newbies" GIMP tutorials you happen to run into. Good luck!
