heres a quick overview of my Giant model

I got a few emails asking me various questions about the whole process, this should cover everything.....

that's a pretty nice write up so far from what i've read and i've learned a bit from it already so i'm eager to finish it off!

Wow, nice article. I'll have to go back later and read it in more detail. Is there a PDF of this?

Really good and inspiriting article!
Makes me want to try making something organic for once!

Awsome, I always wanted to know how you texture. I have seen people bake the lighting off their high poly mesh like that befor and its a really nice way of getting the base lighting down but just looks great when combined with the normal map like that.

Well written and informative stuff, dude. Nice one

That was a great read ben!

Don't forget to set the low poly mesh to a left-handed tangent space coordinate system before calculating the normal map(s), or else the normal map results will be inversed once in UE3

The paint daub filter tip was a good one! :P
