Maya Normal Map Material question?

low odor

In the Max Normal bump material it has a spot for additional bump..The Maya equivalent doesn't seem to have this..how do you Maya users usually set this up?....thanks

In your material attributes, there's a "Bump Mapping" field under the "Common Attributes".

You can set to use the input as height map or normal maps etc.

But how do you do both?...say you have a normal map..and a detail map...Max has 2 slots..Maya seems to have only one

You could use a Layered Texture node to put the detail map on top of your base normal map to achieve the effect but this will shift your hue slightly but it's good enough for a preview.

You may be able to use the Layered Shader node to properly combine normal mpas but I haven't tried that much.
