We dont need an extra normalmap for team2 skins.Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this.

Here you can see how you can reuse normalmaps. Set mat_normalmap human/units/legionnaire/heavy_512_normalmap.tga Set mat_normalmap textures/terrain/tiledgrassroads/nm_stoneroad_normalmap.tga Simply name your normalmap picture: zomg_normalmap.tga and place it in the same folder as the base texture.Īdd the line set mat_normalmap, where location is relative to the 'game' folder. Lets say we have a zomg.tga base texture.

using the ingame command matSet nm (see 5.1).

So we have created our neat normalmap! Lets put it into silverback. TGAs, saved in Crazybump will appear UPSIDE DOWN in Silverback! Now there is one problem with Crazybump and Silverback.

goto to preferences and check 'Save normalmap with displacement in alpha channel'.

set some parameters (you gotta experiment with this).

Its easy to use, produces nice results and you dont have to have Photoshop! You can turn on compression if you want.Ĭrazy Bump is my favourite tool, not just because its pretty but also because the developer was so kind to implement the storage of the displacement map (heightmap) in the alpha channel after some requests. You can invert the channels to make it fit that way. !!!!!!!!!! this is extremely important !!!!!!!!!!!!!!Īs you can see the normalmap appears to be lit The heightmap will be extremly important for the parallax effects It is a good idea to save the heightmap, as we will need it later. Simple desaturate and paint the grass all white, because I just want the cobblestones to be normalmapped. So after done this small cosmetics lets create a heightmap out of the texture.

WTH, its too bright! yeah.another vid_realbright issue.Īnyway, so I decided to darken the the texture a bit, so it looks okay with vid_realbright: The infamous nm_stoneroad.tga from the tiledgrassroads set: So I have decided to work with one of the most ugly textures in Savage. because Silverback doesnt give me much options to clip terrain chunks.but thats another story. Lately I have implemented terrain shading. I usually use either the NVidia Plugin for Photoshop: The default settings anyway are not really perfect for any surface and are implied as a beginning stage for typical guide creation. Where each channel (RGB) represents a dimension (XYZ).ġst of all you need some tools to create normalmaps out of a heightmap: Quick and easy: A normalmap is nothing more than an image, thats doesnt store color information, but slopes, So if you want to do some texturing we hope this helps.Ģ different tools, 2 differents heightmaps, same parallax paramaters -> different result:
