A lot easier to set up the normal maps and get the textures I want but still takes a long time when you have dozen of textures to do. Now I can render 2 pictures at the same time as long I don't have a have ton of stuff in the scenes. On a norm, what used to take me 4 days to render takes half the time now with my upgrades

Hi. I'm unlucky with normal maps. While displacement is a resource hog at least I can control it. Not the normals. And for some reason it doesn't seem to work either :/

The top is with displacement, bottom is normal map. It should look somewhat bumpier.
