Normal map fun


After modeling architecture, [ see my last blog ], I was getting bored.
I was like meh, I guess I could practice normal maps.

After a couple hours of modeling I came up with the pictures below. *yes, I know its not 100% anatomically correct =]

Heres the flow of things
[ sorry this pictures so wide, you have to scroll to see the final part on the right ]

And of course the normal and diffuse maps.
*I love normal maps because they make basic diffuse maps so easy to make ^_-

Hope you all find this interesting, C&C always welcome.

Hey Vinny, the third part of your first image gets cut off in my browser. Everyone, to see the full image, with normal map applied to low-res mesh, click here.

Looks great! What apps are you using? Max and Zbrush, I suppose?
