Hello polycounters! I’m making normal maps for my tugboat model. And I just found super-quick-easy way to make small welding seams on normal map in Photoshop. May be everyone know this method, maybe it too simple, but i think it can be usefull for beginners. Pros: * Very fast * You can erase or paint new welding seams…
If you paint the weld white and background black, you shouldn't need to invert the red channel. You need to invert it because black means pushed inward instead of outward (white).
