    A new mapping element I threw together today. A desk and chair, preset with books, papers, quills, candles and other items you would find on a desk in an office, library, study or bedroom. Throw a couple wizardy, or religious looking things on it & it could be a mage or cleric's desk.

    Wow... this is a big thread.

    Out of curiosity how do you do things like this? It obviously isn't hand drawn.

    The desks and stuff are assembled from elements that I have in DundJinni. I pick a bunch of stuff that I think will look good together and then assemble it all in Photoshop. Some of the larger textures like wood, leather, & stone come from cgTextures and other texture sources. Then I photoshop them into the desktop or other items. Many of the chairs, and other realistic looking objects were created from photos I have taken. In the desk in the post above this one, the open book, the mug, and the chair were all from my photos. Antique stores and giftshops are great places to get photos of interesting things.

    Looks great! I think that may be a copy of An Old Mage Finds a New Love on the desk!!

    Thanks for all of the things bogie. I'm thinking about starting off on a new project that will be rather different for me, and it's good to see what stuff looks like from the top down.

    Also, don't we have an honorable contributor badge for people who make/run threads like this?
    The best maps are the ones we like the most after looking at the longest.

    The original shelves were made by Iron Dwarf, but everything I put on them is stuff I made.

    Thanks Korash! Not only had I never heard of this award, but I never imagined that my thread would expand to this many entries and views.
