Thread: (Image Included) How to Make Shadow in GIMP for Maze

  1. #21

    Default

    Below is my current progress. The grass will probably get changed to sand and the light gray texture is supposed to be white marble but looks more like the moon's surface...

    I'm not sure what I want to do with the textures. Don't know what I should do with the maze walls, either...

    Next, I'm going to put trees and foliage and stuff in there. After that, top-down statues. If I change the grass to sand, I'll put some leaf-less tress in there and hold off on the shrubs.

    At some point, I'm going to put a couple round, fountains in various places.

    I'm really having a hard time finding textures and stuff. Any good suggestions?

    Gimp should have some nice marble textures in there. Try using one of those and then tweaking the color curve, you can get some nice effects that way.

    Otherwise, you might want to check out CGTextures <-- Steel General pointed them out to me in another thread.

    Thanks, Jax! That Website is the only place I've really had any luck, but I didn't know GIMP had textures! I'll have to look at its.

    Tried to make the g. blur even and uniform, but it just won't do it. It's always way darker around the top, left and right...

    Ah, ha! I figured it out.

    Don't do a gaussian blur! Just reduce the opacity of the black fill of the shadow layer. I reduced it to 50%.
