Hello polycounters I'm a normal mapping novice who is currently practicing with the technique and hoping to achieve a higher skill/comfort level.

Re: DESTROY ME CRITIC LOL
Your scene is very noisy and not pleasant to look at. Too much stuff is happening. Its confusing to determine what is the main focus.
