I continue to play with normal mapping

February 24, 2005 by Adam in NWN2

I continue to play with normal mapping. This one involves the photography method I used on the moss. I salvaged some images from my dead digital camera and turned them into a diffuse and normal map. The shadow effect is great, especially as you pan the light source around. The only down side is that I got the lighting a bit off in the original, so it looks overly dark from one side.

I'm tempted to try it again as it simply looks far too cool and doesn't take that much time.

As an aside, I had a musician offer up their talents. It's being fun getting all these offers for help.
