No I'm afraid I've never messed with PDFs much, would probably be a good thing to have though.

A friend just pointed me toward this post to learn some basics on mapping. I joined CG specifically so I could share what came out of reading through your instructions. Here's my attempt at part 1 of your tutorial. Not bad for a first attempt, and all thanks to excellent instructions. Thank you!!! (FYI, I used GIMP for this image.)
I'll have to poke around here and see what else I can learn, and hopefully even contribute back at some point down the road.
Nice work, MrSpiffy. And welcome to the Guild.

Oops I missed this one. Great job! I particularly like how your walls turned out.
Hi and thank you for the tutorial. It's GREAT
I've followed it but my first try doesn't satisfy me so I would like to ask for some points.
I'm not really confident in how to choose the right texture so I would like to ask if there are things to look out for.
the ones below are the try I've done following your tutorial (I know, I didn't really check out the alignment during the making) and a winter conversion of the same map I've done changing the textures

I'm pretty happy about how they came out for a first try but I'm having problems with the wall shadows (for the trees I've left the drop shadow for now). I can't get them to look like yours (well defined).
I think that looks pretty cool Nikkor. Very nice for a first try at it.
You've done a great job, those look fun already. When I choose textures I look for ones that are a bit bland (detailed obvious repeats tend to draw the eye) and ones without directionalality unless I know I will only be using them at one orientation (if your more dedicated you can always rotate and manipulate textures to match contours but its a good bit more work). If you're having trouble with the definition with the shadow you can always use a completely hard brush and then use Filter->Blur->Guassian Blur then adjust the level of blur to your liking.
