Re: creating games Snippage>
Hmm, I'll take a look and see if I can scare up a few tutorial
sites for you. Right now I'm at home and on dialup - so it ain't
going to be quick.
But a few suggestions based on the image you posted a link to.
1) Take a look at the thread in this forum - where someone is
working on something of a similar nature. It might give you a
few ideas.
Urban Brick Street/Road Project

2) Here is one of the most popular (according to the quick
search I did on google) tutorial on creating a road surface in
PS.
Road Texture

3) If you have a broadband connection, you might download this
collection of pre-made texture maps. Several years ago a company
was going to produce a game called Golgotha - but the project
was abandoned. They dumped all the resources that they had
created into public domain - texture maps, sound files, source
code, etc. There are a number of sites that have this stuff for
download - the one I've posted a link to is just one I ran
across doing a quick link - you might look and see if there is a
site you like better. Some sites have the texture maps set up
where you can browse through them and get the ones that interest
you. Anyway - you might find something you could use or at least
something that would give you some ideas for your own work.

4) If you've got the money to spend - you might look at getting
something like this roadway generator. I have no clue as to how
good something like this is, but I ran acrossit and thought I'd
mention it.

5) If this was me that was doing something like this, one of the
things I would look into is creating some custom brushes of the
diffrent elements - like the road strips, the grass, the gravel,
and so on.
