Normal Map??? How to???

Ok, i admit: never used normal maps! And no...i have no green skin nor three-fingered hands. Only wondered how to create a normal map from a geometry in LW. Thanx for help.

on nvidia's website there is also a download; a plugin for photoshop, that will turn images into normal maps

I may be wrong, but I don't think you could output normal maps from LW... but Modo does it well... :wink:

or maybe this plugin can output some normal maps...

ah forgot, you have to be registered for open beta - but if you have LW9 it should be easy!

no LW9 or no registered openbeta? there's also a thread somewhere over there about how to make a node for normal shading, which should work even better :wink:
