Fury of the Wastewalker

[Kennyt]

Absolutely! i generally always do a grid layer then an abstract layer like:
khyber's cave - level 2 - abstract.jpg

this allows me to always be able to go to my abstract layer, use my color select tool, select the green color. then go to my imported texture; inver selection, delete. Boom walls are done.

go back to my abstract layer, color select tool, select green, go back to texture layer, apply bevel.

or when i add lighting - again abstract layer, select green color, invert selection, select lighting level and spray paint my light without eating into my walls.
so easy.

it also allows me to swap out textures if i end up not liking the wall texture later on.


anyways once you get it down you can make maps like this in 30-45 minutes (and i've only been using gimp for like 3 months or so).
