Super-fantastic! Thread and very informative.

Always good to learn more and I have read every post so far trying to soak it all in. Keep going gents and I like your suggestions fritz.

Rick that is a lovely link also btw, I think it should be relate to all game art in general even sticking diffuse and all the other maps in there to totally eliminate the need for duplicated threads on the same subject matter that has already been discussed. (Maybe pointing to some links for a visual preception) just a suggestion...

We could just point to that wiki link and boom problem solved for the newest of the noobies or people interested in a career change.
