Re: Photoshop/Shader - Normal Map - Deepening and Combine

UE4 and Lightmaps... I am so done :(

Re: Video Game Hydrant
Here is a tut I did for someone a while back... This should explain it a little more straight forward than those links. "A. I traced out your little emblem. Black goes in... White will pop out... B. I used the Xnormal Filters to covert this black and white image into normal information. You get this when you download…
