somewhat obsessed with how nice this looks. i need to include normalmaps more often with my model commissions 😭

Made more uv adjustments today so now its time to start baking normalmaps YAY

progress, time for normalmaps rigging and animation i think (also im live www.twitch.tv/philtacular)

the denoiser doesnt like normalmaps :( so here's some closeups from the viewport
i probably should just get Sub Painter soon, but maybe i should take a few more comms before i consider....

How on earth do people work with normalmaps, these are the most confusing things ever

When evaluating a graphics technique it's always worth testing with normalmaps, artifacts that may go under the radar on a smooth surface may become an issue when adding normal variation. Showcasing this with the split sum IBL approx and the specular leaking normals and lack of occlusion introduce.

Thinking about using Normalmaps. I'm not sure hooooow useful they are, or if I like the effect, but we'll see! Definitely better to do this by hand for pixel stuff, as I'm finding out <<;;

Engines that support environment maps, normalmaps, phong, goroud shading and (somewhat) high poly counts are very capable of imitating these aesthetics.
The only issue I've run into in my own tests is lighting:

I was wondering why, although I had incorporated some depth-shading to the art, that it felt flat. Turns out normalmaps are a must!

Normal maps are so wild, previewing changes in realtime here with the free version of Sprite Illuminator.

Let's have some Dark Interval trivia
Our citizens aren't just Half-Life 2 citizens. They use hi-res facemaps and unique facial normalmaps.
They also have extended anim sets, especially the gestures.

To someone as unfucked up and not crazy as me, normalmaps are just maps

okay tonight i'm gonna try focus on making some material for diapercritter retexture comms so I can eventually start taking them
gonna try do up some fancy renders for examples and then make a little page or two of info for it! showin off normalmaps and specular and whatnot..

god i love how powerful normalmaps can be.
4K normal map (8k output). could theoretically go down to 2k if needed but she's medium even with the 4k body normal map x3

on a positive note, i think ghe pokemon themselves look very nice. minus the desaturated older mons but i fixed that with a mon. i like seeing the normalmaps(texture overlays like fur or scales) on pokemon and seeing the subtle feathers and scales!

I am slowly trying to replicate the lighting again some how, but I don't know how.
I know for example that normalmaps while not quite right, are also quite pretty. This is why I prefer working with depth maps. normalmaps are too stimulating to look at for long periods of time.
