Xnormal baking ALL map types as i do diffuse?
Hello I had a scan, few milion polygons, i "converted" this (retopo etc.) into a lower poly version of 10 000 polygon and Diffuse, Displacement (32 bit EXR) and Normals maps (the "standard one" - purple-ish :-) ).

simple zbrush Normal map tutorial
hey all! so lets say you are making an environment, but your meshes are looking a bit flat and polygon starved. well rest easy!

What would be your approach in texturing a big asset like this?

Re: Balmora Reborn(Environment)
How the heck do you get 1500 polygons on just the bolts? Just make them cubes, and delete the invisible polygon. 32 tris per bolt, 320 for the whole. The lowest LOD shouldn't exceed 100 polies. -
