Normal maps

I'm having a lot of fun experimenting with Zbrush! It's a great tool and it makes the proces of creating normal maps a lot easier. However the difficulty is not to go overboard with the normal map. I'm trying to achieve a leather look and have a little bit of a tight fit. However the pants are way too wrinkled right now and look like they have been made from a different type of fabric. I think I have to tone down the wrinkles a lot, make them smaller and more detailed.

ZBrush

I recently downloaded a trial version of ZBrush because I wanted to be more in control of my normal maps. I've been playing around with some of the tools lately to figure out how everything works but I feel like it's going to cost me a lot of time to really get into the ins and outs of this program. However I have to admit that it's a lot easier to use than I actually thought! I would recommend it to anyone who has some painting skills with a tablet!

Right now I'm working on a new normal map for the leather pants. It still needs to be tweaked a lot but be gentle on me it's my first time using ZBrush;
