Quote - Looking around the material editor in Vue 8 infinite and I noticed a button to load a normal map. I was wondering if anyone has tried that and if so, does it use less resources than a displacement map ?
inquiring minds would like to know (plus I haven't figured out how to export displacement maps from ZBrush yet let alone normal maps :biggrin) )Frank
Normal maps work like bump maps, only better. Great for making lo-poly models look like they're hi-poly models. Displacement maps generate polys while normal maps do not.
