hello. just getting started normal mapping. i took a 1.28M faced object (left - 6 turbosmooth iterations) and went to a 600 face object (mid - 1 turbo smooth iteration, then converted to edit poly) and object on the right is the unwrapped version of the 600 face object.
is this about a decent as it gets as far as properly normal mapping? i'm doing more research into unwrapping an object like this, as you can see in the checker pattern, it's not all one nicely wrapped object. any thoughts on that?
thanks,
