Re: A Metal Vase. Asking for help!
From my point of view, firstly decide whether this piece is purely decorative or votive.

Different types of normal maps?
Why do some normal maps in 3D engines differ in color? For example: In one normal map the "neutral" color appears to be grey (#7F7F7F), but in another blue (#7F7FFF). -

Re: UV Mapping and texturing Attempt...need help and crits
