Messin' with da normal maps (non photorealistic)

JKMakowka

Done by vectorizing a normalmap (not by me, just taken for test purposes) with vectormagic on level low.

Anyone else messed with normal-maps (post rendering them in Xnormal etc) to get a certain artistic effect?

Any cool technique to share?

Wow, interesting technique for cartoon!
I'm curious... how did you quantized the normal map? Using a photoshop crystalize filter?

Also tried the vectorizer in XaraExtrem and Inkscape, but they introduce to much "noise"

But if you are just trying to get the same effect it might be possible to do the same with a PS filter...
