Re: new character, spec map help
First off, you'll want to use a highpoly model to create your normalmaps. Nvidia-filter/crazybump/etc... really aren't made for what you're doing. Secondly, a good place to start for a spec-map is to take your diffuse, and fiddle with the contrast. Mind you, that's only a first step, and that alone won't get you a decent… -
Re: new character, spec map help
in general, i've found it's ususally best to remove the fine texture from the normal map, but that's obviously not true in every case.. something to keep in mind, anyway.. spec maps aren't so tough to do. you could start by desaturating your diffuse map and adjusting the values of each area so that it's the correct amount… -

Re: new character, spec map help
Immediatly reminded me of the Seekers from Panzer Dragoon Saga, though I doubt that was a point of reference (seeing as few people have ever played the game). critique wise, the model itself seems to have edges randomly missing all over. Try to make sure your mesh consists of only tris and quads, no 5+ sided faces. The… -
