Sci-fi it is then (I'm practically overloaded with sci-fi textures, so this shouldn't be a problem.) While waiting for some stuff to come back from a few Titanic afficianadoes (photographs mostly... there's only a couple authentic ones of the staircase, so I'm looking to get more in the way of color and texture before I fire it all up), I've been goofing with an atrium-like setup (gotta make the curved stairway templates somehow :)... It wouldn't take much to spruce it up and make it futuristic. I should have a preliminary image either by late tonight or tomorrow (stuck at work 'til 9pm tonight, bored stiff, etc. ) /P
