Update

Again, all the stuff piled up to just one update. So here you go:
-Retexturing of one building Interieur
-Applying emissive to static light assets
-Creating a second storage building
-Switching to highpoly







Most of our normals are done with crazybump which delivers quite a decent result but I started to switch to high poly modelling. Not only because of the normal map but also for using it with the ambient occlusion map for texturing. The reference and extra detail is just a pleasure working with.
This a a recent example of a heater for a kitchen scene.


A little explanation if you are not familiar with "normal maps". The idea of normal maps is to project the high detail of high poly models onto a game ready low poly asset. The normal map will be applied onto the model just like the diffuse texture which contains the colour information with an extra dynamic shadow of the normal map. If you cast a light over the object, the normal map will react to it and shadow the modeled details correctly, faking a more detailed surface.
