Make Normal map out of Heightdata in Unreal4

tuxmask75

Hey guys, I have a greyscale gradient produced by a sine wave, anyhow I was wondering if I can somehow convert that so that it works as normal map data.
I have been trying to figure this out for the past weeks now, and its a real bother. any help would be much appreciated!

You just need to have a custom version of the built in normal from height function. put a fully white heightmap and chain up your sine thing and multiply it on the white heightmaps and its offsets in the function.
