This was going to be an entry for the Fantasy Island contest but I missed the deadline. This thing fought me all the way, from Blender crashing to me baking normal maps onto already baked texture maps and having to do the texture paint all over again. If it could go wrong it went wrong and I almost gave up on it, but I was determined to finish it even if it isn't the final version I had hoped for.
Sometimes it's best to just go with what's available and move on.
