Quadbot using curvy map

Playing about with Curvy map on this to see how much detail can be done. quite a lot and with bump on top of it it is quite effective . The poly count was high for export so I'll try and create a normal map in xnormal to go on a lower resolution.
Added the ambient occlusion as well.

Mixup between Matrix and manga monster? (Kind of symbol on head) I must try ambient occlusion also! Nice, inspiring!

You will love the new bumpmaps - they can do so much of the work of a curvy map that you can get away with lower resolutions.

Cheers, cant wait to try the new bump maps.

Here's some pics of a reduced object from Curvey (12000 polys) and I converted the displacement map (curvey map ) to a normal map in Xnormal.
One is rendered in carrara and the other I tested in iclone both with good results.

I really like that Carrara render!

It looks like with your technique, you could make some pretty convincing trees. I may have to try making some trees with a mix of bump and Curvy map.
