[arakish]

Flawedspirit,

I liked this tutorial but could not find it in PDF format. I copied your original post and made it into a PDF. Hope you don't mind.

Okay, I'm having a hard time rendering the mountain heights on the gray texture layer because the following path does not seem to exist in my copy of Gimp

"Filter -> Render -> Lighting Effects"

I DO have "Filter -> Light and Shadow -> Lighting Effects"

but once I open that filter, of the following settings, only Light Type and Intensity exist, along with a whole bunch of other variables. Is your Lighting Effects a custom plug-in or is it an issue with differing versions of Gimp? I'm using 2.68

Light Type: Directional
Intensity: 35
Gloss: -15 (0 is fine too)
Material: 100
Exposure: 0
Ambiance: 0
Mountainous: 100

Thats because this was made with Photoshop and not GIMP. I am sure there is a way to make the conversion, but I don't know it off the top of my head.
