Baked Norms/Ambient Occ for p2sta3

Finally figured out how to sculpt properly in Blender, so I made some clothing ripples for the p2sta3.

The good thing about baking normals is that the normal map lines up across seams, so it was real easy to make the side ripples for the jersey.

Here are both the maps in a PSD. Set the ambient occlusion to multiply over your texture

Amazing man. Was messing around with the xNormal occlusion map maker and was thinking about releasing something of the sort...this is perfect for people who can't make their own norms.

Send me a PM with your MSN name, I could use some help with some things.

gnar, thanks man ;)

I was trying to do some sculpting in Mudbox, but when I baked it, the result was not really nice, probably the problem of inverted red channel, which I didn't know about back in the days

The newer versions of Blender have a similar issue. Both the x and y channels are inverted.

That is some 1337 sculpting DJ. Have you tried Blender's cloth physics yet? I tried some simple stuff with it and it worked surprisingly well.

Actually, the older versions are backwards and I made MX Sim match that instead of using the more natural basis. Now I regret it...
