The last things we did was to render some textures for the stairs and the upper floor, here is the staircase assembled as a separate layer in OmniGraffle<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now we continue by setting the wall texture and adding some of the upper floor. I tried to make some nice niches for the windows in the walls, as you will see later on, the will be gone.<\/p>\n Mapmaking is the art of try – fail – be creative, rinse and repeat.<\/p>\n I render some of the furniture used in the model so the map will look as close to the “real world” as possible, much like mapping from a photo, but with the luxury of both rendering objects and choosing different camera angles when trying to figure out what is what. Here is a chain, as a .png.<\/p>\n And here is a saloon table. Both rendered in DAZ Studio<\/a> and then scaled and drop shadowed in OmniGraffle.<\/p>\n Now we populate the saloon with furniture.<\/p>\n We also make a railing for the stairs and top floor. The pillars are from when I made stuff for the neverending stores and markets, and the railing is a piece of wood texture.<\/p>\n The railing piece. The bar itself is also from the DAZ saloon.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/4eyes.code66.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/sal08.jpg\" "\\"sal08\\"")
