Quote from TeddyBearI'd love to see how you pull the finalized in-game look off. Are there any additional material maps (normal, specular) not seen in the fullbright editor shot? Anyways, nice realistic composition and blend of the colours chosen
Yeah I made specular maps for most of the textures and normal maps for a few ones 
Will get ingame shots asap.
"corrupto filho da puta" hahahahaha...

Barrakid, are you the guy from Portugal ?

A very unfinished normal map I'm currently working on:

I wish you'd let us in on your normal map techique TeddyBear. Is it something you developed for a University project maybe? Or are you in the industry?
Oh and I have flatmates from Gothenburg, and they are ace

I'll add the fun stuff today...).
ifO: It's something I do on my free time but I consult professors for guidance now and then. Ryan Clark has a method that produces pretty similar results, try google him. Mine are more accurate though 
I think the industry inspired me to develop this because of its lack of similar method appliances (the method is even simpler and faster than modelling the normal/height information and produces real-world results). I have a ten page thesis/guide that I will publish pretty soon (I hope, it depends on many things).
Today and yesterday I came up with the idea for and wrote two actions for photoshop that both generate normal information (I want to avoid using external filters for user simplicity purposes). The first, most complex action generates a normal map from light information. The second action generates normal information from height maps.
Result for the first action (light to normal):

Here's the second action (height to normal). These are very fresh pictures of the very first version. This is for generating better results than, say the nVidia normal map filter but I'm not quite there yet (still playing around).
