Never see this type of work flow before. Are there any videos explaining more on in that you can recommend.

the ndo2 part of it, is the what people have been doing with ndo since hte first version of it.

the how he modeled it out, is similar to a workflow 3d motive did a tut on.

This is a really great tutorial aajohnny, Thanks for sharing it! When I was working on my Deus Ex environment a while back I was using the original nDo script to accomplish something similar. You did a kick ass job.

I love nDo's integration with so many parts of Photoshop (shapes, curves, painting, etc) as well as the controls available when generating other map types from the normals. The features of nDo 2 that I would use the most are map generation from photos, the preview, and adding additional normal details etc, that might otherwise take longer through traditional highpoly.

Did you use nDo2 at all on your overgrown city environment?

aajohnny

Thanks! and no problem.

I certainly did, I actually used nDo2 for more of a texturing tool in the Overgrown City, it actually didn't use any Normal maps.
