Okay So i decided before i go any further i need to test that the UVs are in the correct place and when i eventually get round to texturing properly i wont have to then to back and faff about doing something i should have started before now!
During my trip to France over the summer i had the opportunity to take lots of texture photos. fortunately i had one of a log that is used as a chair, i mirrored this over so it will line up on either side, hence the horrible middle piece. I quickly put this on my UVs and instantly realized a few of them don't line up.
I decided to test the texture out in UDK as i figured i can then create the material and re save over the file. While examining the logs i realised there are a few Uv shells that are slightly out of sync with the others so i need to go back in and move them up/down slightly.
I will be doing this to all of the structural pieces (on the bottom floor) today as i want to have them fully working, unwrapped and light mapped by tomorrows practical. once this is done i will begin on the second floor structure as i think its past time i got them sorted.
On another note i remodeled the chair. i figured the other one looked too quirky, this one looks mucccchhhh better! it fits in with the scene a lot more. ill post images tomorrow, right now i hope on finishing the structure.
