Re: Toehead
It's not good practice to simply grayscale a diffuse and feed it into CB. You'll need an actual height map so that CB can generate an accurate normal map based on that bump data. Though, looking at your diffuse, it wouldn't take much to turn the diffuse into a workable height map since alot of the depressed areas are… -
Re: Toehead
hey man, this is pretty cool. a lot of is great! i think what it needs is less complexity and more perfection put into whats there. here's my input you're using too many maps. don't teach youreslf everything at once. i get the feeling that you're adding more components with hope that as you do so, the quality level will be… -

Re: Toehead
word! well again, i really wouldn't wory about a height map. a heightmap is a displacement map, and you really dont need to use that unless you're doing paralax mapping or something like that, I THINK. i dont know for sure, i haven't really worked with that technology. i can tel you one thing for sure -- you don't have to… -
Re: Toehead
i used a grayscale map of the diffuse and tweaked the numbers in CB.. wasnt quite sure what i was doin because it was the first time through with it.. suggestions? -
Re: Toehead
Did you paint a heightmap for the normal map? or just convert the Diffuse in CB into normal? CB is a powerful program, but do not rely on it to do the texturing for you.
