Made the feet and with this concludes the skeleton, next i will have to mapp the uvs, then send it into zbrush. I think i will make the muscles in zbrush using a simple cube and divide it till il looks like a muscle.

Well one thing that i didnt do is the hole in the skull at the base where the neck ataches . And since the main goal is to place the muscles on the skeleton i dont think i will make it.

Generated the normal maps for the skull. Now do you guys know what setting should i use for Maya 2009 when generating normal maps, cuz when ever i create normal maps i always get the seams visible.

I've been experimenting with generating normal maps, and if i create a normal map with Zmapper sometimes the corners look kinda weird,also the seams are very pronouced and so i will have to generate another normal map in Xnormal and then tweake it in photoshop. Another way that is easier and i have gotten better results that zmapper is to generate the normal map in zbrush without zmapper but the map doesnt have as much detail.

Thanks, cant wait to go into the muscles.I asked a frend of mine about that problem and he said that no matted what i do the seams will still be visible but some settings will make the seams less visible, but if i go very close i will still be visible. So i just have to create multiple normal maps for an object and fix them in photoshop.Hope when Zbrush 3.5 will come out, they will make the zmapper more precise.
