Quote - normal mapping works now with alternative diffuse and specular? and reflection?
I don't think so. I just tested it with Blinn - no reaction. Only on the built-in specular.
Normal maps were not even a feature of Poser 7 at all. This feature has been copied from Poser Pro, with the bug, apparently.
Anyway, what's the big deal. I have challenged this forum to show me anything at all done with a normal map that worked better than an equivalent bump map. Nobody has ever done it. I'm not saying it isn't possible, I'm just saying this is a feature I see no use for.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
