awesome...any chance you could post the .psd? I've been wanting to try to mess with creating decorated shelves for a while.

As I mentioned this original psd file is the work of IronDwarf, a DundJinni member from a couple years ago. He did not post any restrictions on the use of his art, but he should be credited if is is used in any significant way. He did post the psd so that anyone could use it and make new shelves.

There are 2 psd files, the one I used and a lighter one.

Your getting the grasp of it good bogie.. Keep plugging away, You should see one of my encounter maps that I have everything on lol.. Most times if it is a simple map, I have 20-30 layers.. Thank god for groups or I would be lost.. But as the map progresses I flatten layers of like items, it saves on memory, space and keeps it more streamlined for when I revisit them..

Playing with shadows and wood textures I ended up making stairs. 10ft and 5 ft widths, with & without depth shadows, in multiple lengths.

These are really good. Stairs can be tricky and you nailed these. Speaking of layers. My last Calan Stonebridge encounter map had over 100 before I finished it

Thanks jtougas. How did you ever keep track of 100 layers?

Tonight I made some stone steps using a granite texture and a rough stone texture, both from cgTextures.

You want to group them into folders.. Makes life so much easier.. Here is also a set of stairs I made for a map I did.. The texture came from cgtextures as well..

BTW I like the stair work you got there bogie..
