Thanks, it's all rgb 1 or 0's with different rgbt's and texture modifiers  
over the top.

Some of that might be the wall texture which is a scaled and colour-mapped  
wood, it needs something to keep the strokes but make them  
grainier/patchier.

The stairs are placed using a macro and have a light above the landing  
which is either on or off depending on a rand, perhaps if I altered the  
seed or increase the number of flights it might change the positioning of  
them. But hmmm switch them all off and go for an overhead skylight I'll  
give it a go and see what happens :)
