I do too. Though I usually use the old DungeonCrafter2 to stitch them togeather. Here's an old proof of concept

Hmmm... that worked great! I need to do a little work on that color fading and touch up the vertical hall...

I'll redo later and post up a corrected set. I'll also rerender my other 'room maps' with a white background so they will match these tiles. Wooohooo... looks like we are getting a system going here!

Yup. These were saved for use at 32 pixles / 5f. The other 'standard' resolution for gaming is 50 pixles / 5F. What matters here is not so much the 'per inch' resolution of the graphic (eg, 300dpi for print quality) but the actual pixle count to map scale ratio.

Now that I can see there is an interest for these, I'll render out at 50 pixles / 5f. Giving these an transparent background may be more tricky without having to go into photoshop for touch-up work, which is NOT something I want to do (too time-consuming!)

You know, if you read up a bit on applying pattern and stroke effects in photoshop's layer styles (the little circle with the f in it at the bottom of the layers palette) you can easily generate a dungeon that looks just like this in seconds (after you've set up your styles). Basically, you create a square on a transparent layer, apply the non-destructive effect or style, and you have a room! Then you save it as a .png with transparency intact.

Oh yeah...and if you don't like something you've done, all you have to do is erase a segment of room or muck about with the styles.

Those links aren't working, FlatNine.

Hmmm. That's odd. They worked yesterday. Try this link instead:

That worked, thanks.

Yeah, that's a great way to produce good looking maps fast.
