Hello, i have a quick question for anyone who can answer this.
Using maya 6.5 built in normals maps is there a way to transfer bump map information to the normal map?
Lets say you have a high poly model with bump maps
then you have a low poly model around it
so you want to do the normals map transfer onto the low poly
Now i know the high poly mesh information will show up in the map, but will the bump map as well?
I have a character that i want to have skin type of bumps but i don't want ot model them...and i also don't want to really paint on the normals texture unless there is an easy way to do it.
Thanks for the help
