I have been looking for this tutorial for over a year and now you are finally the one who made this kind of video. You are really great because you made a very clear tutorial of this. Exactly what I needed. In return, I subscribed to you. I like your videos. It is very informational. Thanks for your very detailed tutorials. I willl share it with my fellow TH-camrs.
All of these are really well-done, coherent, and I love the reminders for key commands. Thank you, I will definitely keep an eye out for any other tutorials you post!
Just got RPG Maker MV for my Macbook, was getting started, but I didn't know how to make neat-looking maps to test things in, which is one of my favorite parts, the creation of a world. So this tutorial is really great, and I'm definitely gonna be watching the rest!
The result is gorgeous. I did a lot of mapping in Vx ace, but with MV and your tutorial, I think I have an excellent opportunity to recreate my game better.
+Fallen Lorelei Do you know how to do some sun rays all over a map? I would love to do some on my maps. I just give you some eventual ideas for your next guides. (I'm not english so I dont think my english is perfect.)
I haven't finished the tutorial yet, but I had to comment just because you blew my mind with the "Photoshop can overlay a 48px grid". I've been using a template I made, copy-pasted into every tileset I've edited. I'll still need templated for the auto-tile pages, but still this is gonna be really useful haha. Looking forward to the rest of the tutorial.
Hi lorelei :) Great tutorial! I'm on linux with MV and gimp and I just managed to do everything in gimp aswell. setting up the grid etc. really awesome and some whole new level of creating maps! thanks for your tutorial, it is very well done!
Hi Fallen Lorelei, I am a French photographer and I love so much your soft voice and your pretty smiles !!! Continue your excellent tutorials! You are the sun of all RPG Makers !! Best Regards and kisses from France.
I just started playing around with RPg Maker and you were extremely helpful and wonderful to listen to (as a beginner Thank you!) I am def. Liking and Subscribing.
My only real complaint is that you didn't explain at the beginning exactly what "parallax mapping" _is_. I think I figured it out as you were explaining the how, but I still don't really _know_ know. Other than that, though, I found this really easy to follow, and it wasted a lot less time on things that are self-explanatory than many tutorials do.
Just wanted to mention in case someone didn't already if you right-click on your map selection in RPG maker you can save it as an image and it will only save the map. You can then just open that image in photoshop and drag it into the new canvas layer! Happy creating!!
I literally SCREAMED when I tried this; this tip is such a time saver! I have been literally quilting maps together from screenshots for way too long. Thank you SO much!!
I just got the ancient dungeons resource pack. Ok so THIS is how they did those screenshots :O So pretty much you have to make your skeleton map and then touch it up all fancy in photoshop :) Thanks, that's definitely going beyond just tiling a map. lol. I'll give it a shot, maybe do a video of my attempt. Thanks again!!!
I’m using 1920-1080 screen resolution in game. I’m getting a lot of images that are literally just repeating. I’ve tried adjusting the dimensions heaps. My guess is parallax doesn’t like 1920-1080
Thank you for all your help. As of now i think i;m not going to use parallax mapping, but Lord willing i will in the future. You inspired a map that i put in my game...not sure when it'll be done, but i will let you know.
What version Photoshop should I buy ? I went on the website and it wants me to pay monthly fees to use it , I thought you could just buy it and that would be it.
I'm so glad this tutorial is helping people still!! This video super outdated but some concepts (especially in PART 2) are still relevant! I now livestream with a virtual avatar on Twitch, so I hope you can check me out from time to time :) I'll be playing all sorts of games - including RPG Maker sometimes! Twitch.tv/LoriVT or go to loreplays.games :D
Just started messing around with rpg maker and your maps look amazing! Is there any chance of you doing an updated version? Or would most of this still work for MZ
Hey Fallen, When I try to take my PNG of my map, it is shrunk in Photoshop? I did the whole multiplay by 48 and did a screen shot and nothing seems to be aligned right. Help?
This got nothing to do with parallax mapping. If you are looking for that -t his video-miniseries is not for you, here it is just "lets use photoshop to slightly change the looks of the background"
Just tried the grid feature on photoshop and for some reason when I do 48 pixals it gives me very tiny boxes. However, if I put 48 inches it shows the correct format like in your video.
+trips487 That's very odd. Check your canvas's resolution, maybe. Mine is at 72. Is your canvas's dimensions set in pixels as well? It sounds like your canvas is massive which may be the result of 300 dpi resolution or accidentally using inches instead of pixels when putting in the original dimensions. It may also be that sometimes Photoshop puts in little mini-grids inside regular grids. I'm not on my home computer so I can't check what that setting may be. If the resolution is at 72, Plan B could be going to View -> Extras and unchecking everything except for Grid. *chinstroke* Ninja Edit: It also sounds like you might be using Pixel Grid instead of regular Grid?
Fallen Lorelei Not exactly sure I will check everything and see if i can figure out the problem. It has been a very long time since I used photoshop and I just installed the new photoshop CC so im not as familiar with it. Another issue I have is i can't seem to drag and drop any titles/images into a new one like you did with the grass and stuff. It lets me move them but then doesn't appear on the other side. It just makes a new transparent layer. This is a brand new install from creative cloud and like I said it's been a long time since I used photoshop so this is all unfamiliar to me atm.
I'm also using CC from Creative Cloud, so at least we're using the same version! You can check your resolution by going to Edit Image Size, or just go ahead and make a new canvas - making sure "72" is under Resolution (which is under width and height). Are you using the "move" tool to move the icons between the two windows? Sometimes I'm not paying attention and try to move it with the marquee tool still selected. If that's not it, then I'm not sure. Maybe you'll need to copy/paste until you figure it out D: Sorry! It's hard to tell the problem without messing around with it myself. I typically troubleshoot through trial and error lol
Fallen Lorelei haha I Made a dumb mistake lol. I figured it out. For some reason it started on inches for width/height, and I forgot to change that to pixals. Also the res was 300 for some reason. I guess that also prevented for me from dragging and dropping any titles probably bc they were different sizes? Either way thank you for the help.
That was weird. Your trees were under the water tile then above it in game test. I've heard of "just seeing things" but that was interesting.Thanks for the tutorial, will be watching. I didn't even understand Parallax till just now...
hey, on minute 3:16 you have alot of tiles, i only have the first 6 lines that you have... this is a dlc? how did you get all that? i have to activate something? i cant make the tutorial because i dont have all this tiles. thanks!
Absolutely, 100% new to plug-ins here. I followed your instructions and tried to download the Region Restriction file from YANFLY but it received an error. I am pretty sure I am just being an idiot but has anyone else had a problem with the file saying there is a problem?
Hi I would like to know one thing, I insert a tilesets in a4 (walls) to put the walls. But I have a small problem, so my character walks on the walls, how can I not walk?
Nice tutorial!My map's size is quite big so you can't see it full without scrolling or zooming out and because of that I can't use printscreen.Also if I try the "Save as image" option of the editor,the quality of the resulting image is super low...Can someone help pls?
+Outer Heaven Until someone makes a "map saver" plugin, right now what you'll need to do is make multiple screenshots of the map and try your best to align them correctly. If you have the right canvas size already open, you can paste in the "top" half of the map - aligning it to the corners - and then paste the "bottom" half, aligning it to the bottom corners. That should work :D
hey, when i try to open the image in photoshop, it doens't really work that well, even if the grid is set to 48 by 48, and yes, i did multiply the size of my map by 48 too, but the grid looks bigger than it should be, idk why
it's everything exaclty as in the video, its 48x48 pixels, but it's a little bigger than it should, if I put 44x44 tho, it's almost right, but still a little bigger, maybe 2 or 3mm
Hmm maybe the map isn't 1:1 when you export it? So the Grid *seems* too big / too small? I recommend looking at part 3.5 to use Orange Mapshot also, instead of taking a screenshot (this tutorial is a bit old, haha)
yeah, that was it, thanks, it wasn't 1:1, yeah, i noticed haha, but thanks a lot, I actually saw that 1:1 thing yesterday and realized i was being dumb, and thanks for the tutorials, my maps now look 10x better
1 more question, how do you see what you have in each layer? like, i can perfectly see the trees in your layers, but mine is just blank, and then you can barely see something in the middle, you can't even tell it's a tree
my snipping tool saves it smaller then the multiplied canvas?! Edit: Okay so for anyone who is having scaling issues it has to do witht he scale your map is saved as. In MV if you click on the "Scale" button you have to click actual size and it wisll set it to the correct scale then proceed to save the map! If the map is bigger then your screen hook your laptop/pc to a bigger monitor/tv and it will do the trick! Hope this helps!
im trying to move a map from vx ace to photo shop then to mv. is there a different sizing thing have to do because as of now they are all coming out awful.
just after using the snipping tool i copy and use ctrl V to paste in photoshop. it ends up not filling in all the boxes. like the image is too small. i have never used photoshop before so maybe there is something i dont have set in the settings or im just doing something wrong, idk. any thoughts?
Thanks so much for this! I'm nervous about doing maps cause I do want them to look great. Your tutorial is great for a photoshop newb like me. I am going to finish building my game and come back and spruce up the maps. If I release it I'll be sure to give you a thanks!!!
+Зенон Рокоссовитския I think the title will be "In Between" and its going to be about kinda what I feel like might happen when we die. Your adventure will take place in a realm between Life and Afterlife. Thank you for wishing me good luck!
So for the life of me I can't figure out how you got your map from RPG maker into Photo Shop and fill in the new file that is made from multiplying 48 by however big your map is. For some reason I end up with all this blank space around my imported map :( Have you ever run into this problem?
Near the beginning, you added a message about changing the resolution through scripts. How do you determine the size of the map? I guess a better way to ask this is, how big is each tile in pixels?
+Ravani Lestari Nevermind, I jumped the gun on that question before you mentioned multiplying by 48 in the video. I'm a bit anxious because i have huge maps that I want to parallax. Forgive me! :)
hey, first of all, thanks for your great tutorial, i think this will help me alot with what i have planned to do! but i have a question: in another tutorial from someone else, it was adviced to use the same plugin you use for top and lower layer parallax mapping, so the character might walk beneath some objects. i created my own map in photoshop and tried it in RPGMV, when i started the game, sadly i got an error saying my map was too big: its 100 x 100 tiles big, so maybe i went a bit overboard with it. what is the max height and length of a parallax map that works with the said plugins? thanks in advance!
+Belias I'm actually not sure what the max size of the plugin supports! 256x256 is the max for MV, so it's weird that it doesn't allow 100x100. Huh. You could always contact the BindPicturesToMap developer, or try another overlay plugin, such as Kaus?
i'll try to contact the dev. so are you developing a game with rpg maker? which size of maps do you usually go with? i heard that if your map is too big, it might lag because of all the NPCs walking and stuff going on.
It's true that a larger map might cause some lag, but I think 100x100 isn't *too* large here. I make smaller maps because I don't like having lots of wasted space, but it certainly depends on the type of map =D if it's a huge forest or maze, then 100x100 is fine~ Right now in the game I'm making, the biggest size is 40x45 so far haha but it feels kinda cramped
I know this video was made years ago, but I just wanted to ask... Can I just left click the map then click on "Save as Image" and open that saved image in photoshop? or does it have to be a screenshot? :? ~
It's 2020 and I'm learning so much from this.
Thank you.
I realize it's kind of randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to stream new series online?
@Joseph Westin flixportal
@Felix Joseph Thanks, I signed up and it seems to work =) I appreciate it!!
@Joseph Westin no problem :)
Holllaaaa! Good luck with your projects and learnings of RPG Maker MV!
OMG it's the Bob Ross of RPG Maker Mapping.
I thought the exact same... I came for the information, stayed for the soothing voice.
"Somewhere behind those tress there is a little event"
She really beat the devil out of this map.
We're gonna add some friendly trees and these trees are friends so don't be scared to put them next to each other
The first RPG Maker tutorial with a person's voice I like listening to. Thanks a lot! Great video!
I have been looking for this tutorial for over a year and now you are finally the one who made this kind of video. You are really great because you made a very clear tutorial of this. Exactly what I needed.

+Ryan Sturm Thanks so much!! I'm glad you liked them =D
Finally someone explained it so I can understand. Thank you. Wish you were making more videos.
well after months of using MV I just realized the "Save as image" function...thanks!
i cant really focus on this tutorial at first because your voice is so adorable. i had to watch this like twice
Just got RPG Maker MV for my Macbook, was getting started, but I didn't know how to make neat-looking maps to test things in, which is one of my favorite parts, the creation of a world. So this tutorial is really great, and I'm definitely gonna be watching the rest!
please don't second guess yourself I am a dummy when it comes to photo editing and making maps on MV I find this quite valuable to my own efforts
The result is gorgeous. I did a lot of mapping in Vx ace, but with MV and your tutorial, I think I have an excellent opportunity to recreate my game better.
+Tohisu Kael I'm so happy you think so! Good luck with your mapping :D :D I'm sure they'll look great~
+Fallen Lorelei Do you know how to do some sun rays all over a map? I would love to do some on my maps. I just give you some eventual ideas for your next guides. (I'm not english so I dont think my english is perfect.)
I actually plan on making a sun-rays tutorial tomorrow! =D
I haven't finished the tutorial yet, but I had to comment just because you blew my mind with the "Photoshop can overlay a 48px grid".

Awesome video! The explanations are thorough, new ideas are presented, and this tutorial is extremely high quality.
Excellent, clear and concise tutorial series with the addition of a beautiful voice. Thank you very much.
Finally, a worthy tutorial, my parallax will be legendary
This is basic enough that it helped me. If you had fun, keep it up.
Hi lorelei :) Great tutorial! I'm on linux with MV and gimp and I just managed to do everything in gimp aswell. setting up the grid etc. really awesome and some whole new level of creating maps! thanks for your tutorial, it is very well done!

Lovely tutorial! even after all these years, it`s still good and helpful
I just started playing around with RPg Maker and you were extremely helpful and wonderful to listen to (as a beginner Thank you!)
I am def. Liking and Subscribing.
Thank you, lately i don't understand about all tileset function and used it, but from now on really understand^^
Your voice is out of this world.
Basic mapping or not, this helped a lot. You've just got yourself a new subscriber!!!
This tutorial is really great and easy to follow!
And your maps are really pretty to look at *____*
Thank you so much!
I just started and I'm just so thankful that you gave time to do this so thank you very much and i'll be heading on to part 2 now :DD
My only real complaint is that you didn't explain at the beginning exactly what "parallax mapping" _is_. I think I figured it out as you were explaining the how, but I still don't really _know_ know.

First Tutorial!?! Your a natural!! I enjoyed this tutorial, thanks!! Subbed!!
I love how the "game" is listed as Minecraft in the description :^)
Yeahhhh i think the same aksjdaksjda
Excellent enunciation, very thorough. I look forward to a lot more!
I just got the ancient dungeons resource pack. Ok so THIS is how they did those screenshots :O So pretty much you have to make your skeleton map and then touch it up all fancy in photoshop :) Thanks, that's definitely going beyond just tiling a map. lol. I'll give it a shot, maybe do a video of my attempt. Thanks again!!!
omg dat voice, just as nice as the tutorial itself, thank you for this!
Good video. Actually, you solved my problem with the Photshop grid and tileset space, thx. Keep doing these videos. :)
a tales of the abyss fan i see.. well that alone makes me trust your videos will be great.
Very welcoming and friendly to beginners :) Lovely video, good work :)
Love your giggle! Made me smile :).
This is an absolutely beautiful tutorial! thank you!
Ok I think I got it. Sent it to Photoshop, expanded it by the right amount of magnification, it looks aligned now :)
I learned a lot about using outdoor tileset. Thank you. Was struggling with creating three-dimensionality. :(
I really appreciate your work! :)
I’m using 1920-1080 screen resolution in game.
I’m getting a lot of images that are literally just repeating. I’ve tried adjusting the dimensions heaps. My guess is parallax doesn’t like 1920-1080
Thank you for all your help. As of now i think i;m not going to use parallax mapping, but Lord willing i will in the future.

What version Photoshop should I buy ? I went on the website and it wants me to pay monthly fees to use it , I thought you could just buy it and that would be it.
Photoshop CS6 is a good choice.I've used it for a long time.
you don't need spendy art software. you can use clip studio medibang or krita.
Awesome tutorial! Just what i was looking for!
This really helped me, thanks very much.
I'm looking forward to seeing your other videos.
+James Knox I'm glad it helped you -D
You are awesome, can't wait to check the rest of the tutorial!! :D
I'm so glad this tutorial is helping people still!! This video super outdated but some concepts (especially in PART 2) are still relevant!

Hey Fallen, When I try to take my PNG of my map, it is shrunk in Photoshop? I did the whole multiplay by 48 and did a screen shot and nothing seems to be aligned right. Help?
Terrific tutorial! Thank you for creating!
When I follow along to enable the grid, it still won't show the grids.
How do you take a screenshot of the rpg maker MV map screen?
This got nothing to do with parallax mapping.
If you are looking for that -t his video-miniseries is not for you, here it is just "lets use photoshop to slightly change the looks of the background"
Thanks so very much! so helpful and easy to understand.
Exactly what i needed. Thank you so much for this !
+iLostMyKeys iC You're welcome!! Glad it helped you :D
thanks soo much!
I'm just starting out and this was super helpful!
Can you give me link download plugin yep region restrictions please i can't fine it

If I’m just painting over it in photoshop why the hell am I bothering with rpgmaker?
You are wonderful for making this. Thank you so much.

@15:10 Does the 72 pixels per inch matter when making new canvas?
When I paste the map image to the canvas in photoshop the image becomes small ??
+1 subscriber. I'm gonna watch all your videos. That's all I want to say. Thank you
im trying to move a map from vx ace to photo shop then to mv. is there a different sizing thing have to do because as of now they are all coming out awful.
I have a much smaller selection of pieces to work with.. Am i missing something?
just after using the snipping tool i copy and use ctrl V to paste in photoshop. it ends up not filling in all the boxes. like the image is too small. i have never used photoshop before so maybe there is something i dont have set in the settings or im just doing something wrong, idk. any thoughts?
ok i figured it out. i was zoomed in on my rpg maker 1X. yup. on with the tutorials.
+anthony snyder Thank you man! I done the same thing lol
It's 2020 and they still didn't fix the screenshot function.
Gotta have a chimney so the little people in there can stay warm in the winter time :D
Thank you so much! Now i can start my first map :)
How you did this big house
ur voice is so beautiful
Do not be a simp.
Thank u! This is exactly what I want
Thanks so much for this! I'm nervous about doing maps cause I do want them to look great. Your tutorial is great for a photoshop newb like me. I am going to finish building my game and come back and spruce up the maps. If I release it I'll be sure to give you a thanks!!!
Hello! What's your game called? I'll be trying it and give you a feedback once your done :D Goodluck on your game!!!
+Зенон Рокоссовитския I think the title will be "In Between" and its going to be about kinda what I feel like might happen when we die. Your adventure will take place in a realm between Life and Afterlife. Thank you for wishing me good luck!
How do you adjust the size of the map though? Is it something obvious? Am I just being a moron?
Love listening to you ..
for a second i thought this was the LPer JessiMews. nice voice.
So for the life of me I can't figure out how you got your map from RPG maker into Photo Shop and fill in the new file that is made from multiplying 48 by however big your map is. For some reason I end up with all this blank space around my imported map :( Have you ever run into this problem?
"welcome to rpg maker mapping with bob ross, today, we will make a lovely parallax map for out main character's house"
Loved your tutorial
i'm in love with your voice ♥ ... and ty
how do you open PhotoShop?
Near the beginning, you added a message about changing the resolution through scripts. How do you determine the size of the map? I guess a better way to ask this is, how big is each tile in pixels?
+Ravani Lestari Nevermind, I jumped the gun on that question before you mentioned multiplying by 48 in the video. I'm a bit anxious because i have huge maps that I want to parallax. Forgive me! :)
Thanks a lot, I am using this technique in game maker with rpg maker 2k sprites!
i really really love your voice..
hey, first of all, thanks for your great tutorial, i think this will help me alot with what i have planned to do! but i have a question: in another tutorial from someone else, it was adviced to use the same plugin you use for top and lower layer parallax mapping, so the character might walk beneath some objects.
i created my own map in photoshop and tried it in RPGMV, when i started the game, sadly i got an error saying my map was too big: its 100 x 100 tiles big, so maybe i went a bit overboard with it. what is the max height and length of a parallax map that works with the said plugins? thanks in advance!
+Belias I'm actually not sure what the max size of the plugin supports! 256x256 is the max for MV, so it's weird that it doesn't allow 100x100. Huh. You could always contact the BindPicturesToMap developer, or try another overlay plugin, such as Kaus?
i'll try to contact the dev. so are you developing a game with rpg maker? which size of maps do you usually go with? i heard that if your map is too big, it might lag because of all the NPCs walking and stuff going on.
It's true that a larger map might cause some lag, but I think 100x100 isn't *too* large here. I make smaller maps because I don't like having lots of wasted space, but it certainly depends on the type of map =D if it's a huge forest or maze, then 100x100 is fine~ Right now in the game I'm making, the biggest size is 40x45 so far haha but it feels kinda cramped
You can right click on the the map in the map list and click "Save as Image..." No screenshots required.
Thank you so much for the help. Watching this set helped me P-lax tremendously. : )
I have RPG Maker VX Ace. Is it worth getting MV?
I know this video was made years ago, but I just wanted to ask... Can I just left click the map then click on "Save as Image" and open that saved image in photoshop? or does it have to be a screenshot? :? ~
Could you also do this with Paint Tool Sai? (I don't have Photoshop or Gimp)
