CC3/Forgotten Realms Undermountain II maps: Looking for a scalable background tile

[RobA]

My turn-

Here is one from GIMP using the afore mentioned voronoi filter. Cell base 30 px, hexagonal base with 50% randomness (as the sample you posted seemed pretty random)

Thank you, Rob - that's perfect! I'm going to play around with it this morning in CC3. Will post results back.

Must learn GIMP, must learn GIMP, must learn GIMP....

Thank you everyone for your help.

No problem - "It's what I do".

BTW, that one is tileable.

Thanks - it's awesome. And have some rep too!

Okay, here's what I came up with based on RobA's tile:



I like it. I might play around with the image colors a bit though.

Thanks again!

Cool, put a solid glow around the walls and it'll look almost exactly like Undermountain II

Look nice! You could try scaling the background tile by 1/2 or so. That will put it closer to the scale of the sample you provided.

Thanks for the tips, guys. Yeah, this style definitely needs some tinkering. I'll start a WIP for it in Dungeon/Subterranean Mapping.

That's an excellent reproduction! But how do you get into the dungeon?

p.s. great work with that seamless voronoi fill, Rob! I've popped a copy in the seamless fill texture sticky

LOL - that was just a sample for now.

Although technically, the green square represents a teleport site according to the legend on the UM maps. The maps in the boxed sets have a few areas that are only reachable by teleport or some sort of magic gate.

I have always loved that you had to enter Undermountain through a well in the basement of an inn in Waterdeep - The Yawning Portal.
