OK, if you don't know ZBrush, I suggest waiting for Octane is hopefully one day supports displacement. Zbrush has a pretty big learning curve (awesome program though!), and it's a lot to learn for just convered displacement to normal maps. In the meantime, plug the veins map into the bump pin on the skin material.

Nvidia has a plugin for Photoshop that creates normal maps from images. It's perfect for black and white displacement maps and it's free :)

https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-tex ... -photoshop

You can find tutorials for it on youtube.

That's a plug-in I have never heard of, it is pretty cool KleanZlate, But I am sorry for the newbie question... What do I do after I created the normal map?

There's a normal node under the bump node in the material list. Change it from 'floattexture' to 'image' and load the normal map there. After that you just need to adjust the strength of the normal map.

There is a similar "bump to normal map" tool for GIMP. http://code.google.com/p/gimp-normalmap/.

Wow it looks really similar to the effect the displacement was doing in Firefly :) Thank you so much for the help guys
