Using Normal Maps - Part 5

<description>In this movie, you unwrap the texture coordinates on the low-poly column, in preparation to extracting normal maps.</description>

Unwrapping Texture Coordinates

In this movie, you unwrap the texture coordinates on the low-poly column, in preparation to extracting normal maps.

Using Normal Maps - Part 4

<description>In this movie, you extract low-poly models from their respective high-poly counterparts.</description>

Low Poly Models

In this movie, you extract low-poly models from their respective high-poly counterparts.

Using Normal Maps - Part 3

<description>In this movie, you explore the high poly components that make the various parts of the column. You also learn about Floater objects, which are meant to provide a very efficient technique to projecting normal maps.</description>

High Poly Models

In this movie, you explore the high poly components that make the various parts of the column. You also learn about Floater objects, which are meant to provide a very efficient technique to projecting normal maps.

Using Normal Maps - Part 2

<description>In this tutorial, you learn to use normal maps to provide detail without adding geometry. It's a technique used mostly for gaming but can also be applied to architectural visualization or in any situation where interactive playback is required.</description>

Introduction
