Plan for Greg Hoffman

The Joys of Normal Mapping

I finnaly got around to buying TSE and boy does it show quite a bit of potential. Currently I've been trying to establish a workflow for generating normal maps useing Hi-Rez models. So this last week I've spent time quickly building up a model to test out useing the ATI normal map generation program. Still a WIP, but heres how it looks right now.

Still have alot of work to do including painting the textures and rigging it. I hope to have at least the normal maps done before I leave on saturday to start school.

My first quarter at Cal Poly might be a little hectic, but its going to be a blast. My roomate is also a Computer Science major so I'm sure we'll get along fine. Its going to be great to finnaly be able to study Computer Science.

I've been doing a lot of drawing lately to help my artistic skills along. Along with the sketches I did for the character to work on normal maps I've been working on several other sketches from Lord of the Rings.

This one is finished as far as I'm concerned, its turned out quite well in my opinion.

Still a heavy WIP but Its comeing along nicely. Probably won't have a chance to work on it till after the big move saturday.

Game wise I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do, join a team or start something myself. Right now I'm leaning more for the former than the latter.
