Man it feels good to be working on FYP again :)

Man it feels good to be working on this again! Okay so i know i shouldn't have left it so long between working on this but other modules required my attention. So between other modules I've slowly been working on some textures, the flooring being one of them and now I've imported it into UDK i am starting to get excited again. It feels like things are coming together and i feel like am not as far behind as i thought i was, which is probably temporary and i am actually behind but hey ho, we shall see!

I started texturing the second wood mesh. it started of going quite well, it took me a bit of time to decided what end of the wood fit with what plank but the first half of the second wood mesh went really well. (I've not but in the dark sections for the planks yet like i have on the first wood mesh(bottom))

When it came to moving the planks into place for the second half of the mesh my brain kind of said no and i couldn't figure out where the planks went. Fortunately it didn't take me too long to realize what i was doing wrong. i was moving the group of planks expecting it to be the same as the previous half of the mesh. I feel like a bit of an idiot now as i was rotating and flipping the group of planks expecting it to work. only when i had a rest and started examining the textures did i realized i needed to take the last plank and put it at the start. Its a really silly mistake to make but i am glad i didn't take half of the day to figure it out.
 So now that that is fixed time to get the wood grain correct on the edges!
