After about 3 weeks of work (mostly UV mapping) I have finally gotten my model and normal map into Unity. Not perfect but man is it awesome to add that much detail with just a normal map 
(Game mesh is about 4.5K polys normal map baked from 150k poly mesh)
Now to move on to texturing (right now I have a greyscale of the normal map as the texture [thus why there are some seems])
Looks great Jeff. Thereâs something about that scene that almost looks stereoscopic, the ship really pops off the screen as you rotate it. Maybe itâs the starfield behind it or the strong lighting, but it really has some âweightâ to it.
Are you using Maya 7 to do the normal mapping or something else like ZBrush?
Canât wait to see the final textures.
Great work! Canât wait to see it textured. Iâm doing the same thing right now.
Do you mean that after you create a texture the seams wonât be as visible? That would be great because I was a little worried about the seams on my model.
Impressive! I do have a fondness for organic-type ships anywayâŚ
(BTW, on your web site, in the projects page, âfull time manorâ should be âfull time manner.â Though Iâd like to live in a manor full time too.

Thanks for the encuragement guys. I use Maya 7 for the normal map. The ship was box modeled and then the high detail was also box modeled out of that (I havenât learned Nerbs or SubDâs yet). I then used surface sampler to bake the normal map from the high res model to the low. As fas as the seems,
I copied the normal map and made it greyscale and used that for the texture map temporarly. Even though the normal map is seemless when you convert it to greyscale it is not. So Iâm hopping that when I texture it I can get rid of the obvious seems.
Thanks for the spelling help Eric. I have always been terible at spelling, the joys of speaking two languages is usualy you canât spell in ether.
Interesting.
Waiting to see it textured. Paint a really cool texture and add a specmap and you got some really cool stuff!
