I started this project (rose box)...

I just got a sudden case of not wanting to finish this project…

…I guess I am burned out. Anyone know what this is?

The good thing about this was that I did all of the inlay-ed wood as a completely separate project, and created a 2D image map (TGA file). I also created a special BumpMap for it too, for the tiny edges between the wooden pieces.

Here’s the ImageMap

How did u create the bump map for the image? Stupid question but I gotta ask!

Here’s a quickie VIDEO on how I made that bumpmap…

Also, I used the exact same project and added the wood textures and save it as an image, for the Rose Box project.

I used Blender, because I can get very nice curves and edges. I can duplicate and Duplivert much easier than any paint program that I have.
