Hi everyone!
I am currently creating a high resolution version of a game character I made.
http://chrisalix.com/Sagatpose1web.gif

I need help in combining the high res. character to the low res, in form of a bump map.
If any one knows a online tutorial for this please let me know. If you like just tell me here.
All help will be highly welcomed.

Just in case you are wondering the above character is a 3d version of Sagat of the Street Fighter 3 Alpha series.

Thanks,
Chris Alix

Sounds like your actually looking to make a Normal map and not a bump map.
Check out these links, I haven't done it myself but good luck.
