Basic City. Far from finished.

It can be done in GIMP. I am working on a Brush that can be used to stroke a path/ selection in GIMP. I could not find any out there so I am making my own. I currently only tested with 4 shapes but plane to have an arrya of about 16 shapes for villiage type settings. The next step to take is to build two more brushes for diff densities and building types... The below is my first test of the new brush. I am only very new to CG so have been trying diff scales and techniques like crazy. I am pretty happy with the way the brush works.

If there is demand I am happy to share the brushes as I go. Is it worth starting a WIP on it? Or can someone post a link to existing resource?

Post away! Put it in the mapping resource forum,please. FYI here is one I made back in '07: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...wing-Buildings

(by the way, gimp 2.8 will have rotating brush dynamics, making this MUCH simpler. I've played with development builds, where jittering size, and position, using random selection from a .gih brush and angle dynamics following the path work quite well.)

Also, as a tip, don't stroke selection with such a brush, convert the selections to paths and stroke the path... it will give much better results.

Also, in case someone reads down to here, there is a little tut on making rotating brushes for gimp here: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...-Brush-in-GIMP

RobA,

I spent a good two hours searching for brushes to do this. I decided to biuld my own and now here one is. I won't post this one as it is almost identical to yours. If my other brushes work I will post them up in the mapping resources.

I did see that in GIMP 2.8 reads. I did not see a jitter on angle though which would be nice.
