[QUOTE="The Goblin King, post: 4413378, member: 10970"] I got the idea from [url]http://inkwellideas.com/?page_id=9[/url] I am still learning the GIMP so my method may not be the best way to do things. First, download and install the GIMP. Its a free open source image manipulation program. [url]http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html[/url] Next, install the hex brushes. They are in a zip file attached. They should go in \Program Files\GIMP-2.0\share\gimp\2.0\brushes Go File -> Open to open up a map. I've included some attached. One important thing to remember is always be aware of what layer you are working on. Push Ctrl-L to bring up the Layer dialog and click on the Terrain layer if its not already selected. Now you want to make sure the grid is set. Click Image -> Configure Grid and make sure it is set to Width 34, Height 19. If not click the chain under the boxes and change the settings. Click Okay then click View -> Snap To Grid click the pencil tool and click the black dot below it to select the brush you want. start painting! when done go: File -> Save As change file extension to .png select Merge Visible Layers click Export click save [/QUOTE]
