I still can't get it appear in Hammer!!! WTF!!


Are you sure you didn't missed anything, and are you sure you did every handling in the right order?

Has anyone been able to find the necessary DLLs for use with Paint Shop Pro? I looked where it said to and I couldn't find anything...
edit: nevermind, I'll just use GIMP...
more edit: grr, don't know how to compile things on windows machines! or linux for that matter, but that's beside the point.

Should the normal mapped texture appear in hammer as well ?

I don't know if the normal mapped texture should appear in hammer.. Ill check for you. EDIT: It does not matter whether or not it appears in hammer... works both ways..

The Gimp Normal Map filter is also a great one.. I would choose that over the nVidia one for Photoshop.. (<a href="http://nifelheim.dyndns.org/~cocidius/normalmap/)" target="_blank">http://nifelheim.dyndns.org/~cocidius/normalmap/)</a>

However, as KFS said, if you can make your own high-poly source mesh for your textures instead.... do it. It will provide a cleaner and more accurate image.

I just used this to make my very first bumpmapped texture, and I'm going to use it for many more textures to come. Thanks a bunch.
