In today's issue, we're servin' up some serious updates on a few large-scale, ongoing 3D models and concept pieces. Now that both versions of the Cathedral models are complete, Cass can begin unwrapping the UV's before diving into the tedious texture work. This sprint, Karena was able to tackle the UVs and begin texturing.

This meant that the larger scenes might refuse to bake because they don't fit within the size limits of an image. This will be a draw mode that previews the texel density of lightmaps (without actually (re)baking them). I have created a crude proof of concept for this. Project overview and progress.
