Hello guys,
I was wondering if you would have any guides for making maps like this one? Because its really great and doesnt seem to complicated. Anyway, the link in the first post doesnt seem to work. Thats why I'm asking here.

There was a similar post here that describes how to do it in photoshop.
Don't know if anyone has a mirror of the gimp instructions...I could probably cobble together a tutorial just from looking at the image, and looking at the xcf file.

I'm working on a quick tut. based on the linked one.
Basically, I render the background, and on a new layer the grid as an overlayed (50% grey base) bumpmap, then create a new layer filled solid with the "rock" texture (desaturated java in this case). With grid snap on I carve out the rooms using the mask. Select the mask, make it a path, and on a new layer stroke the path... apply a bumpmap of a blurred copy of the stroked path. In the case of the last with no walls, I just applied a blurred copy of the layer mask as an overlayed bumpmap to the whole thing.

I, for one, don't mind the threadjack. Nice to see somebody expanding on the ideas in that original tutorial. In fact, I can't wait to see what your tutorial is going to come out like.
