normal_detail_power

decorix

Hi All,

I'm working on a material. But I could use some feedback on my material
setup.

I want to have some more controle over my detail_normal_power. So I have
build in some more controles. So I can increase the detail of the normal
map.

Does anybody see any problems?? I'm not really sure if its setup correct.

When I punch i a value if looks like it increases the detail normal power.

Thanks,
decor

You can just make your vector3 [1,1,0] the parameter and drop the second multiply calculation.

ok, cool thanks!! Do you need change the RED channel if you want to
increase the ammout of detail?

If not which channel can you use best?

In your material instance you would change the red and green channels. For example: [2,2,1] to bump it up or [0.5,0.5,1] to tone it down.

By increasing the amount of detail you mean making the normal map stronger? more bumpy? If so then you should increase both red and green and leave the blue unchanged, see how far you can push it before it breaks.

Thank you both!! for helping out.
