Yea that CrazyBump does look powerful. Also, yes I've had some experience using the TCE in AC3D lisa, so I entirely understand diffuse maps at this point
My first post I included 2 simple objects I made & textured with the TCE.
I'm currently working on a pistol based on the shape/design of a Walther P22, putting a good amount of time into this while I still figure out how to get everything working right in AC3D, hope to make this my first good model heh, so I'll definitely be playing with the different maps on this one!
