I think you should read up on how normal maps work: http://wiki.polycount.com/NormalMap?highlight=%28\bCategoryTexturing\b%29 That should explain just about everything you need to know.
Alex Garland is writing it too ... which is vaguely interesting. I don't rate his writing though - while the Beach was pretty good, The Tesseract was thuddingly awful and the 28 Days Later script was mediocre at best

Something funny about Sony - I thought it'd be better to post in here, it's probably not worth a new topic on it's own... Sony are pretty dumb, it seems. http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/03/28/news_6121137.html
