Gear doodad I made as an initial visual concept test and to test the procedure for normal map creation:


Making of below:











One half with normal map one half without showing how many polygons it really is


Doesn't look too bad now from far away, It's screwed up in the middle due to crappy uvmap and crappy alignment between low and high res mesh.

Versus this without normal map:



With edge breaks and phone smoothing... something I should be able to simulate by disconnecting the polygons but cinema doesn't seem to have a way to do that!!! so instead it looks like below with no angle limit or breaks:





With some specular, does show more issues then. Also I have some dents going on most of the outside prongs due to me being a idiot I think


PLus some ambient occlusion

























Put some bright orange in instead? aswell?
Color themes for maps, green, blue, red etc, possible to change color by code or over time

Dewey: Like Pastor Roy said, how God's so much bigger and wiser than us. And trying to see what he's thinking would be like an ant trying to see what I'm thinking. Teacher: Yes, exactly. But we can trust in his wisdom and we can have faith that he is watching over us. Dewey: Like me with the anthill in my backyard. I spent days watching the ants, trying to figure out which ones were good and which ones were bad. But they all just look like ants. So I started smiting all of them. I was smiting them with the garden hose, and with lighter fluid, and with the lawnmower. And to be perfectly honest, I think I went a little crazy with the shovel. Those ants could have been praying to me all day; I wouldn't have heard 'em. There was nothing they could do about it. Really, It's the same with us. There's nothing we can do about anything, either. So why worry about it? Hey, this is making me feel better. I guess all we can do is live our lives with as much kindness and decency as possible and try not to dwell on God standing over us with that giant shovel. Bye!
