using decal and custom vertex normal for vehicles?
Can i use custom vertex normal and decal for vehicle for example a tank or a aircraft? i see the tread for the use of decals to add higher details on the model and i read that starcitizen ships use custom vertex normal to add smoothness to the edges. i did try to make a high poly but i having problems adding a lot of edge… -
3dsmax 2014 normals bug
Hey folks, First of all - I'm a crusty old seadog and I know all about normals so please don't hassle me about smoothing groups and so on. :) I think there's a bug in max 2014 where tangent basis gets messed with somewhat randomly.

Splitting normal map rbg in photoshop question
I use different channels in my texturing process from my normal map, and have to go in and copy each channel in photoshop to a new layer every time I bake a normal map.
