this is active

BumpMap "EarthBump.png"

John...can I have a copy of your 'NormalMap'?...I haven't had a go at these yet. How do they work? I haven't found any NormalMap textures anywhere to use...

I would also like to try your cloud map.

Any tips here would be most usefull.

I'm still trying to reduce the size of my (and Don's) 8k shallow water texture. My dds plug-in is still not working. If you (or anyone else would like to have a go...that would be great. At the moment it's around 43megs, which is just too heavy I think.

Regards...bh.

As to how they work

the very,very short of it is to eddit the solarsys.ssc
add

Code: Select all

 

...
NormalMap "EarthNormal.dds" # or .png , or *
...
# and put a # befor BumpMap and BumpHight

John..I have your normal map installed, I don't see any apparent difference. I'm using ver 1.3.0...

Any advice here?

bh,

bumpmaps are broken in 1.3.0 due to a last minute attempt to fix a bug in normal maps.

You need to install one of the 1.3.1 prereleases, preferably pre5. They're in
