INTRODUCTION

HIGHPOLY

I exported both planks to the .OBJ format and imported into Zbrush.

Repeat this step on all sides of your planks.

I rendered out an ambient occlusion map from the highpoly in 3DS Max at the same time as I baked out the normal map.

I surface blurred the photo and edited it quite a bit painting over some weird things and tweaking the hue.
