Texture Changes

All textures need to be in .png format

No .jpgs etc...

Level Design necessities-

All Modeler's -

-before exporting your asset as a .fbx-

Check your face Normals to see if you don't have any inside out faces so your assets will render properly inside of UDK. (BackFace Culling)

Continue to upload your assets into the custom assets folder of the repository.

Textures must be! 256 x 256 -UNLESS- it's for a character -OR- you have created a large part of the building itself.

Textures must be in the .PNG file type

Alec's assignment

· Boss bathroom (same objects, just re-textured with gold crappers/urinals, oak seat covers, silk toilet paper (or money instead?) oak doors, anything extravagant or over the top, rugs, big nice bathtub/ shower

· Secretary room just outside boss office

o Desktop computer set up (reference Jason’s computer)

o Nice counter for secretary (enclosed counter set up)

o Nice seat for secretary

o Fountain pen

o Panic button

· Need signs for the whole building (eg. His, her bathroom, janitorial, stairs, exit, maintenance, employee only, stupid signs, ect

also i need a coffee squirt gun and a remake of the ruler sword

the squirt gun is two handed and the sword is one handed.

make sure to reference Jason's or Kenny's assets on the repository, do not take any vanilla asset he has made, but you can make them better (eg. use Jason's his computer monitor and convert it into an LCD, take Kenny's chair and make it more comfy and fit for a secretary.

To all modelers!

change in texture size as wells as deadline.

Danny would like for us to go back to our props such as tables chairs desks,lamps ...etc

and make sure to fill in any topology holes due to the purpose of having the assets scattered around in the environments.

NOTE-

you will more than likely have to re-map your assets

we will not be using 512x512 maps on our assets for that is too large of a memory/pixel waste.

please use 256x256 texure maps on all of your assets UNLESS you have created characters for which we will keep them at 512x512

your deadline for the completed textures as well as any changes made to your models is Sunday

02/12/2012 at 12pm.

please talk with either Tom holas or myself for any questions and or concerns.

keep up the good work guys! Lets keep the ball rolling so we can see our work at work! :]
