I definitely agree with you on that V3NOM! I'll make adjustments and re-work it in ZBrush. Thanks for the tip!

WOW! I actually made sense O_O
BTW another tip i would say is to use an oclusion map, I think it would look really cool

oh yeah, I remember seeing that. I'm using Maya 8 so the map transfer has the AO map generator built in. Can't wait!

Right now I'm using HDRI and Mental Ray so it's a bit slow. the AO map will help with the render time.

Thanks for the second tip!

Great process...

Nice normal mapping. Good concept too. Just looking at it means business. Can't wait to see the final.

Hello all!

Here's another normal map test. Looking ok, for low quality. Still more work to be done for the high poly. Lost allot of details but I'll fix that later once the high poly is done.

I'm going to start texturing this weekend hopefully after all the high poly stuff are done and normals are more solid looking.

Please note that this is just blinn material, normal map, and a dark purple diffuse...not actual texturing. Once I start the texturing process, all the details will be fleshed out. Hopefully, it'll look better than what you see here.
