WIP 10: Remaining UVs
I created the remaining 2 sets, one for instanced objects and one for the environmental assets. With the instanced objects it was mainly repeating the steps from the barrel UVS, with the notable exception of the seats. Those were parented to an empty, which had active transformations. When I tried to do the array trick, it didn’t work properly, because the parent transformations kicked in. I tried to apply rotation/scale, but it didn’t propagate to the children, so I ended up separating the seats’ stave, working the array magic and then re-parenting the stave.
With the environmental assets I had to go for the Smart UVs option, because the generated meshes were far from seam-friendly. I prefer not to use this UV option, because I had some troubles with it in the past, but it seemed to be the only option here.
Tomorrow I’ll move on to the texturing part.
