I like the concept of Steemit4Free and what it seems to stand for. @thecryptofiend just posted some Rachelle shots on one of his own Steemit4Free post. I am not a photographer. I am however, pretty good at using the Unity Game Engine to make still images for my posts.

I showed how I do this in this first post, and the second part.

Well in the spirit of that I have taken this FIRST image by @thecryptofiend from his post and I have made normal maps, ambient occlusion maps, and height maps. These can then be used in a 3D program, or in Unity like I do in order to do cool 3D things with them.

Here are the maps both normal and inverted.

Using these in conjunction with the Tutorials

When you combine these in conjunction with the previous Unity tutorials I provided you can get things like this. The maps combined with a physically based shader make the image that is normally flat have 3D properties which make it light and angle reactive. You can do some neat things once it is in such a state.

Why did I do this?

I like the idea of steemit4free and I wanted to see how quickly and how effective taking some images and building the normal maps, occlusion, and height maps could be.

If you want more 3D Maps and art that you guys can use please consider giving me an up vote and/or simply commenting to let me know. Do you have some images you want me to convert?

You can also do it yourself, as I did indicate the tools I tend to use and explained how to do these style of images in my previous tutorial posts.

"Feel free to use these in your own posts if you want as per Steemit4free."

Steem On!

EDIT: I wanted to add one more. In all the shots above I was using a directional light which is pretty much a constant intensity. It doesn't necessarily show off how cool lights can react with a properly mapped image. I made one more with that directional light off and I added in a point light.
