Helmet Head 64

microscopic progress - added particles to the thunder helmet

Finished with the appearance of the Thunder Helmet but I need to add some spark particles running across the top and such. Used a 512x normal map and AO map as well as a 256x color ID map so the colors can easily be changed later. Still not set on what the abilities for the Helmet will be other than obvious lighting bolt attacks. I want something that can also be used for platforming.
