Still cheesy, but a better render - the water and ground plan isn't 3d... only the building...
I gotta learn how to use Bryce - that would be the app to render the ground and water with...

Your "quick and cheesy" is far, far better than anything I could manage.

nice temple i love the mosaics and the sculptures
but i do not like the 1970s fake veneer furniture with precision rounded corners
Final format for Contest Entry
I added a legend and some floorplan layout with room text, etc.
The main reason is PosterRazor, the app that RR pointed to had preset sizes and my map is actually 38+ inches wide. The presets are 36 and 48 inches and nothing in between so I added to accomodate the 48 inches (but it does work as a whole, so its all good.)
I'm also attaching the PDF version ready to print at letter size 24 pages (6 wide and 4 high, the legend fits into 4 pages.)

The mosaics - Wow! Don't tell me it's simply the Stained Glass filter of photoshop - they look way more realistic.
May I ask how you did that?
Thanks

Ok figured it out - It's a third party plugin.Originally Posted by Jorik

GP, out of curiosity how did you do the hex grid on your map? I've been looking for something to help me create one, but haven't had any luck so far.

Hexes?
Hexes? You won't believe it. Using Xara (use whatever works for you) with snap to grid turned on, I create one hex. I duplicate it and place it hex properly next to it, then copy both, line up the next pair, copy all four and so on. I do this till the double placement of hexes go all the way across the map.
Then copy, place until all the hexes are created.
I'm sure you could find pre-made hex files you could convert to a transparent PNG file and place on you map.
I do it the anal way, but only because I don't do hexes much, so I make it from scratch.
