Modeling and texturing of the Reactor Building.

Just smoothing out the normals for the new Cap Ship and working on the base model for the freighter.

This took a lot longer than it should have, but I have been working on other things too.  What this is showing is the normal hexigonal terrain layout is now properly curved based on distance.  You can't see that from the first picture that it's just the original hexigon.  The second picture is just showing the heightmap is working.  And the third just to show it is the hexigon (just from inside the planet so you can actually see it).  The normals aren't correct right this second, but I want to get this posted.  So next is alignment and proper approach positioning and scaling.

If you ever wanted to know what a typical meeting looked like from everyone, here is a screen shot.  We mostly talk about progress, what should be focused on until the next meeting, and other suggestions as they come up.

Just to give a better idea of what music can do, here is a short video with the new music with a small furball going on...

Hey everyone! I am happy to share the first completed song for the game! This will be the first of many.

And no more seams! :)   Everything is all sewn up like it should be.  Now to go back to the heavy maths for placements  and scaling and make it replace the current Mars in the "sky".  :)

Test the "sewing up" of the triangles.  Because I'm using equalateral triangles rather than quads, the sewing is different.  And because how you put together "rings" of different resolution triangles (starts with a hex of them, then go out from there in rings), the sewing only needs to happen on one side.  I'm just verifying that it is working.

One more piece needs to be done to finish sewing, and that is to share the overlapping vertexs to prevent any gaps.

Updated redone texturing of base model single-occupant fighter ship.
