Quote: 1: So here I have the halo 3 beta spartan diffuse texture and the normal map opened in photo shop  Keeps putting url tags on it... -------------------------------------------------- 2: I would change size of the diffuse bitmap so that it matches the size of the normal map. In this case, 768x768  -------------------------------------------------- 3: I would select the BLUE channel of the normal map and hit ctrl+c to copy it.  -------------------------------------------------- 4: Then I would paste it over the diffuse texture with the Multiply blending property.  -------------------------------------------------- 5: Press ctrl+L and change the levels until you get the desired effect.  -------------------------------------------------- 6: Before...  -------------------------------------------------- 7: After  -------------------------------------------------- halomaps messes up the image links when I link to a site that has case sensitive urls so go here instead. http://deelekgolo.wmclan.net/FakeBump/ There is much else to do after this(edit the multipurpose map, shaders, etc) I'll add later. in b4 spartan094 aka BP And now a little explanation. Normal maps store information on the tangets, normals, and bi-normals of a high poly object. This image explains a lot.  So using the red or green channel of a normal map to fake bump would be useless and only show up as pre-defined light. Edited by DEEhunter on Jun 26, 2009 at 06:21 PM |

they're fake bumps. they appear to be bumped but its just the texture. Real bumps manipulate light dynamically or something.

Thats because your just using the blue channel. To give a heightened effect.

Idk what the point of bump map because the bumpmap bungie made doen't make the texture shine so much because of the blue rainbow thing but the best way to bump map the texture to shine good is black and white :) check out my xfire screenshot
  and so much more I have more screenshot of them in here Click this link below lol http://www.xfire.com/screenshots/bankheadmoney/ and the weirdest thing is some how when I alpha few bsp like bungie alpha the BSP texture but I forgot how from gimp  anyway my BSP look so awesome with alpha somehow.... |
