    I have gone ahead and stickied this thread so that it will be at the top, but I would strongly recommend that folks use the rating system at the top so that we know that you all feel that a thread is that great. Thanks!
    Bill Stickers is innocent! It isn't Bill's fault that he was hanging out in the wrong place.

    Please make an effort to tag all threads. This will greatly enhance the usability of the forums.

    *animate thread*

    Hi all,
    Looks like it has been a long time since anyone posted in this one...so I want to drop in and say thanks for the tutorials! Just finished reading these and am going to try them out tonight. I like the results and method - I truly feared trying to draw all of the little buildings of a big city by hand.

    I'm new to this site and to computer mapping in general and think this one will help me with my current project a great deal. Looking forward to reading the rest of the impressive-looking tuts on here and trying out some of the techniques. Thanks again!

    First of all Thank you very much for your work. I'm very new to GIMP and have not been happy with my drawing with a mouse. I was just reading your tutorial and saw your comments and had an idea which I honestly havben't yet tried out. Anyways have you tried chaning your mouse settings? Slow down the speed of your mouse. I'm hoping it will reduce my twitchy hand and give me more control. By the way I'm responding to your 2007 posting and don't know if someone else has already commented on this.

    My thanks to everyone here for sharing and inspiring me.

    This is a fantastic tutorial. I've been trying to do a few city maps recently, and I think I'll try this tutorial for the next one. Thanks a bunch!

    Thank you for this excellent tutorial! I use GIMP but it was still invaluable. Just a few hours of work and here is my first city. Warning: it's a 17MB file!

    I did find some of the steps near the end of part 2 didn't translate to GIMP, at least I couldn't figure it out. I'm not a GIMP master but I am interested if anyone else has translated them.

    This is my first attempt, also done in GIMP. I managed to somewhat translate the layer styles in part 2 such that they worked in GIMP I think.

    For the buildings I duplicated the building layer and then added a bevel to it (Filters->Decor->Add Bevel...). I then used the emboss filter (Filters->Distort->Emboss) to add an embossing effect. I then put this layer above the buildings layer and set it's mode to Overlay. I did a similar thing with the walls too.
