A question about detail maps

by x-ming-x · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 09/24/2010 (5:18 pm) · 2 replies

Hello all :)

Im playing around with detail mapping and im getting great results. but there is something missing which is stopping me from implementing it into my maps, heres what im trying to do, ive got huge wall with lots of weathering on it but its low res (like when you do the terrain textures). Then i add a detail map of the bricks and scale it right and it looks great the detail is there. if i could apply the finishing touches to the detail map of spec and normals it would be perfect. is it possible to apply a normal / spec map to a detail map?

thanks for your help

    The later versions of Pro have a "detail normal map" slot in material editor ... not sure about the Binary or 1.0.1.
