My digital camera gave the ultimate sacrifice...

My digital camera gave the ultimate sacrifice last night when I was taking pictures for normal maps. I was unscrewing it from the tripod when I heard a loud electrical sounding pop from inside the camera. It never turned on again.

I'm back to making normal maps using other techniques. The simplest is probably Photoshop, which lets me make a normal map from a texture very quickly. It works best for rough surfaces, with a little more time required if I put in some manual tweaks.

I'd really like to do some more writing today. I think I've finalized the plot of the first module for the most part and I'm eager to get it done. There's many more modules in this campaign and I'm eager to get started on them.
