Hi and thank you for the tutorial. It's GREAT
I've followed it but my first try doesn't satisfy me so I would like to ask for some points.
I'm not really confident in how to choose the right texture so I would like to ask if there are things to look out for.
the ones below are the try I've done following your tutorial (I know, I didn't really check out the alignment during the making) and a winter conversion of the same map I've done changing the textures
I'm pretty happy about how they came out for a first try but I'm having problems with the wall shadows (for the trees I've left the drop shadow for now). I can't get them to look like yours (well defined).

You've done a great job, those look fun already. When I choose textures I look for ones that are a bit bland (detailed obvious repeats tend to draw the eye) and ones without directionalality unless I know I will only be using them at one orientation (if your more dedicated you can always rotate and manipulate textures to match contours but its a good bit more work). If you're having trouble with the definition with the shadow you can always use a completely hard brush and then use Filter->Blur->Guassian Blur then adjust the level of blur to your liking.

Howdy, you are most welcome to include it in an easier to use format. I can't speak for wdmartin, but I thought it was a very useful trick so if he has no objections go for it.

Great Tutorial. I'm new here but wanted to give this a go. Mine obviously isn't amazing or anything but I don't think it's terrible which is a marked improvement on my non existent previous abilities.
Looks like you got a very serviceable map already, congrats! I think your walls turned out particularly well. Hope it gives you some great ideas for making your own maps for your group.
Great tutorial! I've been trying to learn Blender to make battlemaps in that (and for those who think Photoshop isn't user-friendly, just give Blender a try!) but I've achieved more following this tutorial than I have in many hours in Blender. Okay, not an original creation, but here it is.
