    Some. Not as much as I thought I did (I kept futzing with the settings in Bryce until I was happy). Here's a quick perspective render from my saved file for an idea on how much...

    With the depth of field the way you have it, it even looks like a photo of miniatures. Tres cool.

    Yep. With some colour, this would make for a very nice alternative map, I think.

Could have been a good entry for Wild West Town. I'm guessing the 45 degree bias is from the original Village of Hommlet map.
    I agree... I've always done maps with light coming from the upper left corner. If there's a light source in the picture I change the direction of the shadows to match that light.
    See, for example, the temple map from the Fantaseum-Spring08. It's indoor and the shadows still comes from upper left corner (in this particular map I'd adjusted shadows to the light from the windows - but it still looks ok with the shadows).

    Great map... I especially love the 3d one as it does look like a place to set up miniatures ... good job, I like it.

    Though a bit late to this thread, if anyone is still looking for the village in 3D, you can find it for Sketch-Up in the 3D Warehouse here:
