So I thought it might be a good idea to release what I've been doing these last few months so that people can play with…
Hi, This is my first time posting and I'd appreciate any feedback that I can get. The concept is from one of Brom's works. The base mesh is 6898 tris and I'm hoping to get a normal map off of the high res mesh. When I start texturing this guy I might be using a bit more color than what is shown in the original.

I know this question has been asked before, but from what I see its always weak hardware at fault. The problem is when I select uvs in the uv window the software is unbearably slow. I can get stuff done. And yes, I unchecked the constant update in the preferences. I believe my system should have no problem Amd 3.2ghz 6…
