I don't know about you guys, but I create my map with Photoshop and Dundjinni.
My question is, where on the net is it possible to find some good quality tiles? I'm looking for some modern things for Shadowrun maps, like furniture and whatnot. Fair enough you can find objects by using Google image and then modify them with Photoshop, but most objects aren't from a top-down perspective. I've looked all over the net for this, but I can't find anything. 'ta. |

I'm not sure if they'd match up well, but you might consider running a few searches for items and tiles for Campaign Cartographer. I know they have a pretty big user base.
Come to think of it, the official sites have a lot of user made stuff (or links to it anyway) if I'm not mistaken. |

I use Visio. The stencils have all the things I need, including the all-important cubicle :)

There was another discussion here about that. I don't have time for finding it as my work break is almost over, but there were a few links for tile sites in it.

Thanks a lot for the link.
I realize I wasn't very clear however :(. What I am looking for are actual graphic files (.jpg, .gif) that I can use for my maps. Pictures of maps or furniture that I could use. Here's some example right there. Is this any clearer? |

There's also a number of programs to generate floorplans, most have a free demo. I don't have links or names, but they typically have a library of furniture "parts" that you can drag onto a floorplan that you make, so they can be customized lots of ways.
Edit: Found one - SmartDraw |
