Homework Submission – Week 3 – Water Wheel

@theluthier
Still working. Will try to have this properly submitted by Tuesday.
Everything is baked except the outer rings. I need to remodel them, and thus I don’t want to move on to painting quite yet. There are two problem areas in the normals that need fussing with still.
I painted one piece to submit as proof of concept.
At 2048 pixelation is still pretty bad on the normal maps, but it hides in the paint pretty well. Using AO in the strength node softens the harshness of the pixels. But then that’s a whole extra map being used.
I’m posting this now because I don’t think I’ll have a chance to finish today, but will update this post when I have the time to finish.
