I have a question about normal mapping a modular building piece. I suppose for an example of my question, I'll just use Stephan's building. Would you normal map a building like that the same way you'd normal map a prop? Where you go through the object and bevel the edges so that something like the window edges will have…
Thanks for the replies, Sure thing, examples and specific questions coming up... I just can't use the actual piece so I'm doing a quick example prop. I'll be back with screenies in about half an hour.

They look pretty good. IB and Ott bring up some good points I would follow their advice and modify the models accordingly. After that the next big hurdle is getting them unwrapped in a fast, clean, optimized way. The counts could be considered fine if most of those polys contributed to detail or helped you create optimized…
Moved this to Tech Talk. For branches entering the trunk, take a look at Zspheres. For example http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1094357 More examples here https://www.google.com/search?q=zbrush+tree+branches+game&tbm=isch
