Greeble Workshop v1.0

and Displacement maps made from floating geomerty saved out as OpenEXR files.

OpenEXR was developed by ILM, so you know it's got to be special... And it is... As a grey scale hold tons more information than your standard jpg or even tif and targa. OpenEXR is also used in HDRI lighting. Raw they are 64mb from a 2k(2048x2048) image. I suggest using the zip losless to get them down to a 6 or 7mb file. NB. Save RGB not RGBA or you will get a big black square when you bake!!

I made a little animation (the camera moves only), but when Blender started rendering the 2nd frame, windows said Blender stopped.

My system: WinXP Render: Blender (Internal) Render Blender 2.65

Ewwwwww..... Not meant to animate, just extract normal maps. Then animate the low poly with normals.
