Hye,

We heard online that normal maps is great... But what is it in fact? Any example of use?

- I look at the drone.org tutorial using a raytrace engine (rayDiffuse), but the day after, I saw some pictures of real time using of normal maps...

- Bump, displacement, rendering faking?

- Being modeler, could I paint in my Maya 3d views my normals to add detail to my model? Is that right the zBrush interest?

Thx :bowdown:
