Bump using normal maps

26.12.2007 Anton Volkov

We also managed to build bump using normal maps. We use prepared image with “relief normals” to pass “surface curvature” info to the engine. Geometry is not changing (we’ll not see this features at the very edges of an object), it works like bumpmap.

This deature is not engine integrated yet (we’re busy with texturing optimization), but you can check quality/speed already.
