Normal map practice =]

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.

But hey, it's free. .

I figured why let a model go to waste.
This is just something that I have been working on lately in my spare time. You may recognize the design to be similar to that in the www.projectoffset.com videos, which inspired me on some parts of this.

I model every once and a while ( RL consumes me most of the time ). So here it is, fantasy architecture for free. I'm doing this for several reasons
1. Free models are always nice to have
2. I really would like to see this in-game.
3. I still, sadly, do not own TGE or TGEA

As you can see, there are no UV maps or textures do to the fact that I am not good at that. Therefore you may consider this more of a resource than ready-to-go model.

A really bad render. . .

and that same render after some photoshopping

Thanks, and C&C are always welcome.
