My little moss normal map experiment finish...

February 15, 2005 by Adam in NWN2


My little moss normal map experiment finished up, the one based on taking photos with the light at different angles. It turned out reasonable well, to the point where I can see the advantage of the technique. The real strength is in creating normal maps for things that are impossibly complex to model, such as elaborate organics.

The photo above doesn't really demonstrate the technique as well as I'd like. It shows the same normal mapped image with light from different directions. The only issue is that I didn't quite get the lighting right when taking the original pictures. It's a bit too bright from the top and too dark from the bottom.
