yes, the floor is a very, very scaled down texture, but for the flatness
issues, i just used the standard textures that came with textures.inc

i might try fooling around with some of those numbers, though if it will

As far as the 'standard beginner' image, i've never been one for holding
back.

jumping in the deep end is the fastest way to learn how to swim.

acually, my *first* image attempt was a pair of cupped hands holding a pile
of sand with a miniature desert scene in it over a pool of water. (for the
irtc desert competition)

needless to say, it was a miserable failure as an image, but i got lots of
practice working with solids and shadows :)
