 Once the displacement maps will be acceptable, i'm going to ad some color! \\
-Still  wondering what colors to use, i probably will precolor some conceptsin photoshop...

+Currently, i am redoing some sculptwork, partially for practice, partially because i wasn't completely happy with the precious version, and partially because i realised that the model i sculpted on earlier was about 50 times smaller than it should be for mudbox to get a satisfying result. So here is the first 'revisited' part: the shinprotectors!
+{{:assets:modeling:shinprotectorsdisplaced.png?500|ShinProtectors, now with slits and wibbly wobbly branches!}}
+So here's the plan: i'll treat the shinprotectors as a testsubject and finish them completely, then i'll move on to the rest of the armor.

+Imported the mudboxfile into max and extracted a displacement map (with [[http://www.neilblevins.com/cg_education/mudbox_2010_to_max/mudbox_2010_to_max.htm|this]] method). The result wasn't satisfying: everything was very blurred and most of it didn't appear, even after optimising search distances and the like. So i tried extracting a normal map... I think the combination of the two maps is what we need. Note that there are still some minor artifacts in the displacement map, but the good news is, i know why and i think i can easily fix it ;-)

+//edit:// Reduced glossyness, added some more realistic lighting (a preset called 'late afternoon', which uses a hdr-image of a riverside to calculate lighting) and an ambient occlusion filter. Also changed the color of the jewel.
