Finally! Even though this is 2 years old it's the first time I've seen it, a way to render normal maps in Maya

what about high quality rendering? It works pretty good. Maya ftw

Er, how does high quality viewport display help with rendering?
Justin: yeah, what malcolm said. The pixhero solution is better. But it still utterly blows me away that it's not native http://www.pixero.com/downloads.html
Maya8 still does not support normal map rendering natively

Just set you're rendering mode to hardware instead of software or mental ray. I tend to prefer the hardware render for game assets anyway.
Also try downloading these shaders . They work in realtime without the need to turn on high quality viewport rendering. They won't render in software render mode though, in case you try.

Son of a bitch! I search and search and everyone has these super complicated shader networks or or scripts that don't work in my version of Maya and the solution all this time was hardware rendering.
