if I find a set with baked in highlights/shadows I return it.  This isnt the 90's any more .. if an artist making skins can't make displacement and bump maps its about time they figured it out or left the market.

I want all the items in my scene reactive to the lightning .. that means, skin, hair, clothing ..everything.  If it isnt either I have to retexture it, or spend time repainting after the render is done.  And who has time?

If I'm paying for a set, I'm paying for it to be made properly

and no, you do not need zbrush or c4d or anything exciting to make displacement maps .. just an image editor and an application of brains.
