sumoftwosins Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 It is a Normal Map. There are a number of ways to do it. If you just want to make a simple one in Photoshop you need to download and install the DDS plugin from Nvidia's website. Then open your texture DDS file in PS, choose filter, Nvidia and bam... it will generate the normal map. Save it and your good to go. If you don't have photoshop, at the top of this forum is a stick thread: New to Geck and modding... look in there and at the top will be a link to Oblivion tutorials. There you can find tutorials on making normal maps in other programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedyB64 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 The original normal map was a high poly bake. A high poly model is made then a low poly model is made then they "bake" the high poly for the normal map to make the low poly one look better. So I think you will have to modify the original normal map. Good luck. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
