Inside mudbox or 3dsmax? For example lets say I make a normal map with a external tool from a texture , then I would like to reqork or refine the normal bumps on the model loading the same map in the overwritten tools is that possible?

What I want to do is ... I have a rock , I have a texture seamless on it , I can make a normal map out of it with external tool but then the seams arent good anymore so I wanted to fix them in mudbox or zbrush by loading the normal map and use its displacement onthe model reqorking and then reesporting .... is it possible?

    i would say it would be possible with a displacement map but not with a normal map. you can have some mild success with autogenerating a displacement map in crazybump out of the normal map. but it won't be very good since the normal map doesnt have all the needed information and there is a lot of guess work involved.
