Week 3 - Pumpkin Unwrap and Bake

The unwrapping took a little bit longer than I would have liked, since the forms were mostly organic and I couldn't straighten them out to make them fit better and make it easier to pack into the texture space. I ended up having to move the leaves on another texture sheet since they didn't fit with the rest unless I sized them down, and since I was offered the resources,I might as well use them. To be honest, I think if I had given myself more time I might have been able to come up with better ways of using the budget I was given, texture wise, but I didn't want to sacrifice time and fall behind with my projects, so I decided to just use another texture sheet for only the leaves. 







The bake turned out well after a few tries where I changed the cage until it fit. There is a bit of artifacting, but it's only in the places where the leaves and vines are stuck to the main pumpkin, so they won't be visible. The bake for the leaves came out well after only two tries, since there weren't as many details. But because they are subtle, the first version didn't capture the details well, they were barely visible because the cage was too far out, so I decreased the distance and they baked well this time.
