TO A SPECIFIC WEEK: |
Its time to normal map our character. We will use the Normal map to produce deformation for all of the high frequency detail on the model.
But first, we must understand Normal Mapping as theory and as pratice.
Heres a site that explains some of the complex stuff: Normal Mapping Tutorial part 1, Normal Mapping Tutorial part 2
Heres the Wiki on Normal Mapping: Wikipedia
