This is a work in progress but bprogress is going very fast. Now that I have broken through the glass ceiling with Sketchup you guys and the Dark Sun community in general can expect some fantasic resources coming very soon (like a few days).

To that end this is a beta version of what I hope will become the new "official" map of Tyr. Once I get all the buildings modeled up I can paint them very easily. Then the really fun stuff begins. I am going to place unique buildings in there and as a long term goal all the points of interest described in the books will be custom building with these medium quality buildings as the filler.

And the best part is this will be available as a vector map. That means that you can zoom in as far as you want to go, from a birds eye view all the way to combat grid level.

As you can see I am modeling this right off the OFFICIAL boxed set map(!!)

With a better rendering engine...this is only the first phase:

Wow, that's a lot of Sketchup work! Just looking at all the extractions (rectangles given height) makes me tired.

(PS: You seem to have removed the first image, so I noted that in the OP.)

vizier, I think I love you.
I mean that from the bottom of my sun-bleached little heart.

Link fixed thanks!

You have havent seen the really cool stuff yet like Tyr at night scenes. I fixed the orginal link and here is a current over view of the city, 90% complete.

Check this out!!!

how do you that into map tools?

Wow! This is going to be great! Keep that up!

Its all done. I will wait until after the game this week to release all the maps so the players have the first look at some of them.
