FIRSTLY.. I've been browsing these boards for a couple of months, every now and again just to admire the sheer quality of work that the artist around exhibit and it's really impressive.. MY PROPOSAL.. I've recently been playing around with Microsoft's XNA playform for video game's development and after spending some time…
Wow I see your Normal Map looks quite different than mine.
