The texture is supposed to tile in order to give a convincing look for the mesh.
As i have mentioned before, we are creating our game in Unity. In unity […]

This week I started working on graphics for our GGC trailer. The trailer will feature different motion graphics and gameplay.
Given that I already have assets form the game, I chose to use these for the trailer. I will be working in after effects and premiere to create a one minute long trailer.
