my textyure practice

[Peddy]

you can make a normal map from a painted bump map, or rather, an editted diffuse, using the photoshop plugin provided by nvidia:

or you can use the textures as reference to create the normal maps from a highpoly model

a good tutorial is here (http://www.poopinmymouth.com/tutorial/normal_workflow.htm), by Ben Mathis, for 3ds max 7

Those are nice textures.

The problem with that normal map thread is that it is 25 pages long.

Check out this technique (http://www.iddevnet.com/quake4/ArtReference_CreatingTextures), I find it much more effective for tiling environments and panels like you have there.
