    This is the quick color mock-up to show what might be possible with the stuff I have made so far...

    I like the idea... but that would take much longer as I would need to make shadows from every angle... in the end I think you would get a better overall product if you color and shadow the line art for the map you are working on that way everything matches. I am not opposed to making some full quality color versions of the elements so that it is less work for you all... but the shadows are one of those things that will bring the map together and if they don't match can ruin the effect IMO. (just look at the cheesy ones I used in the color image below)

    Here is a start to the castle they are just normal .png files without transparency. Just set to multiply and color... The last file is the wall parts and a stairway to get up to the towers. For the walls just line up the parts to make them as long as you need then merge them together copy and flip the copy vertically to make the other half... the darker line of the wall is the outside edge.

    I may do a video on how these were made and how I color, just to show how I do things and try to get others to make some line art for this town elements project.

    Comments, cirques, and ways I can make things better or easier to use are always welcomed!

    Incredibly awesome contribution; just downloaded Boslok's Todes Grube mountains & trees resources - these will complement really well. For those of you with PS, I went ahead and created Photoshop brushes of all the images RobA has uploaded. I have CS4, so I apologize to those of you who won't be able to use these.

    Sorry alizarine, but they aren't mine. I just cut the building images apart!

    Two words to add to jfrazierjr's list: Bump Map. The lighting/beveling/embossing photoshop has to offer have always felt way too rounded (not to mention COMPLICATED) to me. GIMP is much easier. Height map -> Bump Map -> 3d!

    These buildings and trees are awesome. Thanks for posting them!

    Wow! I really like the way you use the clumps of trees to make large forests. Keep it up!

    I like the style of art, but I prefer to make maps from a more decorative 3/4 view (not top down). I'd love to see your buildings from more angles.

    Sorry about resurrecting a thread, but not only were these elements (the initial houses) helpful, the mini-tutorial was helpful too.
