Hey that turned out great Mateus! Excellent work. You don't see too many hex grid dungeon maps, but I've always like the hex grid system better than the traditional square grid.

Cheers,

Thank you. I am still not happy with my grid. I cant get the right visibility (not to obvious and not barelly visible). I am also trying to put the grid only inside the dungeon, but i am having problems with it. It seens that I will have a 1.5 after all =)

Nice map. I prefer square grids for dungeons myself, but hey, it's whatever you're used to.

Have you tried exporting the map to PS or GIMP, creating your grid as a pattern, then creating a new pattern fill layer using the grid with a multiply blend mode, inverting it and painting it on only the room floors? You can mess about with the opacity and stuff to achieve the level of visibility you want if you use this method. Great 'trick' I picked up from Butch Curry's Fantasy Cartography tutorials.

Can you give me a link to the tutorial that you said?

Sure. It is a very useful set of tutorials. I've know idea how to make your hex grid as a pattern though.
