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.

I'm unlucky with normal maps. While displacement is a resource hog at least I can control it. Not the normals.

I did this picture with normal maps on her outfit.

I always use the diffuse jpg. so I can get a clean, sharp texture.

I went into crazybump and adjusted the intensity 99. Got rid of the Shape recognition and the very large detail. Then I set the very fine detail to about 15. The fine detail to 50 and the medium to 50.
