Sorry there's been no updates for a few days, been waylaid by a combo of some kinda winter bug and being roped into xmas shopping. Which left me totally shattered, we're talking Olympic grade sleeping. Then sometimes as the queues are so long for the shops, I even managed to do both at the same time before anyone noticed.

But back to whatever passes for normal in 2020 and another WIP.

And don't worry whatever I had hasn't sneaked down the internet and fried your brain as well as mine. What you see here is a test to see if I like how I've mapped and laid out the material zones, or if there's any obvious errors.

For example, notice on the security sensor thingys, there's a separate zone. That's because I noticed on some of these the panels are not always sensors, but are lights. So if you use software that allows a material to be used as a light emitter, you can easily switch out the plastic texture/material to a light emitter.

On the red square I can see I didn't map a part correctly, that is actually a light-light, so I'll quickly remap that to the correct zone. Then I can move onto colouring it all in.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
