Select yellow area in layer “all” - change to white (or black)

Then use nVidia normal map filter.

Hey thx Waternz

I did what u told me black or white

The output was the same as with black or white, but I had to activate that option

The outcome

Render weird, I think cause the lot of scratches the texture has, Ill try getting them out, and just do what I saw in several videos: make the normal map first, then paint the scratches manually

And, thats the option to activate normal map dont u?

Ill try crazy bump too check the results jeje

#4

Black will bump in one direction, white in the opposite direction.

In Blender also check,

Textures > Image Sampling > Normal Map > Tangent

Heyyy, I had to be ausent some days, I think got nice result with crazybump options and modifying the Nor option in Texture tab in Blender

Any more advices welcome xP

Thxxx ppl :slight_smile:
