Blackboard and bicycle props, and stair details


I spent some time making props that will be seen in the next version of the flythrough. First was a free-standing blackboard based off a blackboard I saw at a local church.

Finally, I completed the tedious task of adding marble trim, green paint (decals), and treads to the stairs (this took most of President's Day). The tedium came from my use of BSP brushes, which are old fashioned and very slow, but allowed more flexibility with sizing and textures. Because the level is so big, each time a BSP brush is moved even slightly, the editor stalls for several seconds.
