Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jürgen Hubert" data-source="post: 2981154" data-attributes="member: 7177">I recently stumbled across <a href="http://www.inkscape.org/" target="_blank">Inkscape</a>, an Open Source vector-based graphic program. This looks like it could work fairly well for my mapping purposes - so far, I've worked with AutoRealm (map example <a href="http://juergen.the-huberts.net/dnd/urbis/img/DetailMap.jpg" target="_blank">here</a>), but I've been frustrated with how slow the program becomes once you use lots of individual icons.So now my plan is to create the basic outlines and shapes with Inkscape and then add color and smaller details with <a href="http://www.gimp.org/" target="_blank">GIMP</a> (another Open Source graphics program - this one pixel-based).But first, I need to learn how to create decent-looking landscape details with vector-based programs. Do you know of any good tutorials for this? Or do you have any other suggestions that might help me?</blockquote>
