Normal Map

[Tetra]

Is there anything other than generating a tangent space normal, adding it to the bump slot and choosing default as the ED material attributes that I need to do to get my normal maps to show correctly?

 

Each time I add my normal map and export the EDM it darkens the diffuse texture in-game. Strangely it does not show it as darker in either the standalone or DCS world model viewer though, only in-game. Any ideas on this?

It's a DCS shader issue. You'll have to experiment with material settings.

Hi Rudel many thanks for the reply, will give that a go. When you say material settings do you mean the ED material attributes? Anyway thanks again, will report back if I manage to track down what caused it.

np, I meant the settings within the material editor

Thanks Rudel, I actually solved this by saving my normal map in another format, DXT1 was causing the issue. Thanks again for your help.
