Vertex painting
All members have watched videos on example vertex painting techniques and will consider how it affects the tileset components they are making, if at all. Members will undertake investigation as required. The following ideas have been proposed for vertex painting:
3d Motive videos
The group now has access to 3d Motive videos, and members have been encouraged to take a look at a couple of relevant videos

- scratches and wear
- rust
- mould/algae
- leaking/water damage
- floor and wall cracks (perhaps to be used in conjunction with static meshes)
- puddles
- glowing parts of plants when using night vision

keep blogging
Members were reminded to continue to blog as a record of work and to celebrate progress.
Dropbox for individual use
Members were encouraged to use dropbox whilst at home, since it stores backups and also ensures availability of work.
Lightmap Unwraps
Mike showed the group the lightmapping stuff he'd found whilst testing. A powerpoint has been written which should help.
Any other business
Tristan suggested a team social. We'll have a think about what we want to do.
