The detials for the high poly were done in zbrush. It was my first time using it and my first normal mapped object. :)
Was a fun activity, it would be good to see some more poeple have a go at it.

looks great Makk, though i've never seen a rock with that many tiny circular bumps [:p].........how ever it's 100% spot on for weathered clay.

I did have a go the activity, but everything turned pear shaped as soon as I started normal mapping[:X]. I?ll have to set aside a weekend and practice for the next one.

Hey look at that - this slipped passed me! Nice job Makk - normal mapping isnt as difficult as you thought now right? Its a piece of cake!

Goosebumpped rock - nice [:)]

hehe, thanks guys.
Yeah all I did was subdivide (one time too many as well!) and used a brush with the projection master, so it was pretty simple.
Im planning on doing another one as well, this time hopefully better detialed :)
