You could do it high poly paint(seems very slow to me) Xnormal can multi color uv islands(that really doesn't help you for controlling detail inside of a complex map) I found vector masks with color layers with your normal map as reference… -
Re: Suggestions for new computer setup
Ok, maybe I'm a raid noob then. I thought to double the performance with raid you lost half the space.... Maybe i'm thinking about raid 1 though. I'm not sure why you would "throw away" an ssd in any case... If you have the extra sata port to run two you have... the extra sata port to run 1 + another later... My basic… -

Re: Blender's future
Sure, I get that as a junior you have to demonstrate a willingness to learn but some of the people in that thread also display rigidity.
