Today we’re gonna begin making a map of a saloon named Stars & Stallions<\/em>, a proper name for a proper establishment. As I’ve used this saloon in 3D pictures for the adventure, I will use the same technique I did when making the Promised Land to make this one, render the 3D scene top down to get the layout.<\/p>\n

So, first we open the DAZ Saloon interior in DAZ Studio<\/a> and render it top down, hiding the ceilings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now we open this in OmniGraffle<\/a> and put it in the bottom layer. We now start to figure out where the floors are, adding polygons for those in OmniGraffle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Using FilterForge<\/a> and one of my own filters I render a saloon floor texture to use in OmniGraffle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We set the new floor texture to the floors we just mapped up, still showing the walls of the top down render.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here is the floor alone, plus the walls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now we need a texture for the walls in top down view, so back into FilterForge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And while we’re at it, we render a floor for the upper level as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And why not make a stair case texture using the same filter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So far so good, next time we will finish this respectable establishment.<\/p>\n
