Re: Why Ambient Occlusion vs Baking Into Diffuse?
Generally, the approach with AO will depend on how good the lighting systems are in your engine or target renderer. * AO should be typically applied with a secondary texture and not baked into albedo (or other maps). This allows the engine to multiply the AO on ambient or indirect lighting pass only. AO should not multiply… -

Re: Knight Bust Critique
Reminds me of Duke Igthorn a bit. For your first ZBrush sculpt, this looks pretty good. Some wrinkles like around the eyes are a bit messy, but nothing major. This is somewhat subjective, but the style is a bit in between worlds. You have that one hard edge along the length of the nose while the rest seems to be more or… -

It's big twist was an emphasis on generational dungeon crawling, where you go down once, collect as much cash as you can and then leave forever. The next person down is actually your son or daughter caught in the same… -
Re: Sprite Lamp - cool use of normal maps
The result is looking really good! I'm curious about the light profiles to generate light/shadow information for each angle. Wouldn't it be possible, as an alternative, to draw a height map of the character and generate the light profiles from that? Maybe worth exploring? I think such a feature could be a time saver for…
