Hello! After I bake a hi-poly to lo-poly normal map, I have also added in procedural textures via the bump node. My question is, by doing this (after re-baking a new normal map to include the bump), is the color space/quality compromised somehow, in the background? From my observation, it doesn’t…

I’m not sure what you are asking… Are you wanna mix a normal map with a bump map? Of course you can re-bake but maybe it’s a better way to make a normal map from your bump (not directly by filter in blender as afaik; but many online tools or use as displacement and bake) and mix the two normal maps…

I covered this back in this thread ( combining Normal Maps ) [image] Can Blender apply multichannel skin displacement maps? Modeling It is just a basic Blend of your Character Normal Blended with a Micro Normal and controlled by a Mask… All of which can be do…

Yes, I’m wanting to mix the normal map (baked from a hi-poly), with additional bump information (from a procedural texture - musgrave, noise, etc). It looks like this can be done from Blender’s default baking toolset. I suppose my concern was finding a best practice to accomplish this, but I’m una…

if you use a PBR node you got an input for bump normal map and you can add either maps here is an example [Roof-tile2] and this one [Node Setup PBR Maps] [normal_bump] happy bl
