    Posted: 28.Jan.2012 at 14:52

I am trying to get normal mapping figured out because I think it will enhance my material substantially. I am using Nvidia's Normal map plug-in in Photoshop.

 I have created a normal map in Photoshop and now I am trying to add it in the bump channel and it does not seem to be changing anything. I have included a photo summery of where I am at. The upper rendering is with the bump unchecked and the bottom rendering is with the bump checked on at 30%. I have a diffuse bitmap of the tile at 100%. Thanks in advance for your help.
