Hi
How do you folks get such smooth bump maps for a character's face,especially around the eye's.
I have tried to do this but when I apply the bump map the lines look "pixelated" and choppy and they are only 1 pixel in width,I try to smooth them out but this just causes the colour to bleed leaving the bump map with areas of bump where I do not want any bump.
I am considering getting a graphire 3 as I only use a mouse which is like drawing with a brick,I know this will help me create better maps as I know how to paint with real paints and the pressure sensitivity and price it what makes me want to get this,but while I still have the "Brick" is there some sort of trick or technique you like to use to get those smooth wrinkles around the eye's.
Any suggestions you have would be great,thanks.
