Frequently Asked Questions

What is a normal map?
A normal map is a texture that fakes surface detail by manipulating how light reflects off the surface, adding depth without extra geometry.

What image should I use as input?
Use your diffuse/albedo texture or a grayscale heightmap for best results.
