Thank you so much for giving me the tip about Normalthief. I just did a quick search and found the thread you were talking about. Going to experiment around with it tomorrow. Should improve my foliage immensely.
Awsome links thanks! Only question I have about this is when you say "make sure the lightmap UVs are welded together" are you talking about the Unwrapped UVs I lay out or a separate set of UVs for the lightmaps?
I had a feeling my laptop isnt up to the task, thank you for responding tho. I am hoping on getting a much better computer within few months by then I can finally try out this amazing software.
Okay you guys talked me into it. Extra texture pass. Hopefully this does the trick. I'll push the recessed portions on the horn scales deeper in the normal map in the morning. I think the previous version was a case of it's 5am.... done! Thanks :)
