Gonna be my first attempt at normal mapping and hand painting textures.
Already having problems with the normal map =D

EDIT: forgot to mention, 190 tri

Looks great, good job on the normalmap..

Ok im having some problems with my normals. Each time i try it i get these nasty edges. How do i get rid of those?
Here's the normal applied to the low poly.

In my experience, there's no way to avoid such seams when there are hard edges on the low-poly model. At least, not when you're using a tangent-space normal map. It doesn't seem to be so much of a problem if you use object/world-space normal maps, so I can only suggest that you either try using one, or try getting rid of the hard edges in the low-poly, and bevel them a little.

Oh ok, thats good =)
Whats tangent/ object/ world and the difference between them? I read something about it a week or so ago but it was confusing :S

I like the overall shape, however I feel it could use some more detail in the form of a normal map for the top, just seems too flat. Look forward to the texture
