Gmax normal mapping problem

Post by GMer » Mon Jun 15, 2009 8:47 pm

How do I export a normal map in Gmax using the .nfo export script found here?

Over 3 years (has it been that long?) and just now I noticed the day and month of my birthday were switched. Whoops!

Some 2d games I made, haven't made anything in a year though O.o

Those exporters are for 3dsmax not Gmax. Plus the NFO format doesn't support normal maps, only bitmaps. You might have to use Equity or Actor Studio to add the extra bumpmaps or normal maps after an actor is created.

Whoops! (now where did I get mine?) :oops:
Anyway, I take it that adding the extra bumpmaps or normalmaps are described in the manual?

Just search the RF manual index for "bump mapping" and that should describes how to name and add the extra bitmaps needed for bump mapping.
