How to add realistic outdoor features with DD3?

scan13

Hi,

I'm a newbie with DD3/CC3, I've created a map with a large building using DD3, the interior is decent, but I'm having a hard time with the exterior surroundings...

I've looked on the site, and there is a good example of what I would like to achieve: Tendril's Oak Inn, the ground floor map. You see a number of trees, cart wheels traces on the road, the grass is different with a realistic pattern... I just don't know where to start to achieve that.

Thanks for any suggestions...

Tendril's Oak Inn is the March Issue of the 2007 Annual. Since the issue focuses on sheets and effects, it doesn't go into detail on how to create everything for the inn, it does have a lot of good tips to help you out.
