Update 6

Had some slight problems today, I tried to apply the photographs of all the textures I took from the office today but it just wasn't looking as seamless as I wanted it to be. The photo tetures would look shoppy and a little jarring.

So I tried to Photoshop a fewj of them and give it a go but then I met another problem. All the textures had a dark edge, this meantk that when the etxture was repeated on a plane you can easily tell where it was repeated because of the dark edge that seperated them. This didn't look very appealing and I was not ready to let the quality of my work drop because of the funny texture maps.

With no other option, I woas forced to subsiture these for simple colours. All I could do now was choose the closest colour to the original one in the photo and substitue it with that.

Here is an example of how this made it look:

The textures replaced by the basic colours version

Although I'm not very pleased with it, I think it still holds some clarity - even though the photo realism has been taken away.

I think my next update may be the final one where I complete the colouring of the model have the screenshots and videoclip ready .

I feel so bummed out right now :( .
