I&#8217;ve spent most of the week redoing the UV&#8217;s so I can finally get on with some texture work now.<br \/>\nThis is where the fun really starts (well actually I like doing the modeling but it sounds better like that) Theres no AA set yet so it looks a bit jagged but theres also no GI going on and the lights have no shadows.
