I've been working on a new way of making normal maps, and have a mod / modders resource related to it. These enhanced normal maps are supose to manage lighting effects with more controll than the traditional way normal maps have been made.

 

I provided three examples. Each example has the enhanced version, and the normal version. What I need the forum members to do is look at the images very closely and vote which images labeled 1 or 2 looks more realistic. Look closely for shadow, and hilight detail, along with an over all photo-realistic look.

 

Feel free to comment on why you voted the way you did.

i do see a difference, but it's too small to really say what exactly it is.

maybe I'm just too tired or my monitor sucks, but:

 

Can you show us some examples for another mesh? you know, a normal map with more stuff going on than a simple skin texture? maybe some ornaments or weapons?

 

much appreciated

I say 2 is more realistic for a gorgeous normal body and 1 for a more warrior type build since the muscles seem to stand out more then they do in 2.

 

Thanks for asking.
