Thread: [Award Winner] Using GIMP to Create an Artistic Regional RPG Map

  1. #31

    Default The End

    The promised pdfs. I had to break it into parts 3 and 4 because of the size limitation...

    Also attached is a zip of the final xcf file (it just fits under the limit) in case anyone wants to dissect this thing to get a better understanding on any of the steps or layers.

    And now that this is over, I can get back to some other things on the back burner

    Cheers!

    This tutorial is amazing, Rob. I can't even imagine how many hours you put into both developing the system and the writing/posting of that system. Thank you so much.

    I can't wait to see what maps users make from it, too!

    I agree, and I really hope you get a bucket load of rep for it as well.

    Thanks! I'm glad someone is reading this thread

    As no one has been posting with comments are questions I was worried this exercise was for naught. Now is the time - any question? Post them here! I wil be adding any clarification that people ask for in an edited version that at some point will be set up as a single file PDF for download.

    Oh, no, I have been reading and building on this thread on my own. I'm currently doing a lot of world building with my gaming group to prep for the release of D&D 4.0. And this tutorial was how I got them to start sketching out the areas as we discussed them.

    I'm hoping to provide a few examples once I've had the change to get something finished.

    This is my first post to this forum, let me assure you that this excersize is not a waste. I have gotten through the first two PDF and have learned some interesting techniques. I will be applying them to how I create textures for Planets in Spacescapes as well.

    I hope to post something of a map from your tut soon. I just want to make my own rather than the provided sketch.

    Thanks for this tutorial!

    RobA:

    I just downloaded and installed GIMP today. I'm looking forward to using your tutorial as a learning tool. It's the best way to learn the features of any software package.

    Thank you for your time and effort!! I'm looking forward to digging in.
