How does normalmapping work with shade-c evo?
There is a finished fx you can choose from "mtl_levelDefaultNM".
I was just wondering, how to actually use it.

PS: I already created the NM for each texture, which is being used in my level.

mtl_levelDefaultNM is designed for blocks or you mean mdl's?

Check the examples in shade-c evo folder.

mtl_levelDefaultNM is designed for blocks.
Therefor I can`t pinpoint the script which defines the normelmapping..

Make sure your Blocks are selected.
Properties > Material > Choose Material > mtl_levelDefaultNM

That is not what I meant...
I specifically created normalmaps for the textures I am using.
I am not sure how to add my normalmapping to the diffuse (colored) texture.


diffuse:


normal mapping:

Your normal texture name should have the same name from diffuse and ends with "_n" eg. color.dds color_n.dds in your WAD Textures file.

Sorry, I need to borrow your thread -> What about MDLS? which fx file should I use then cause that explains why that fx file was no good to me for what I was trying to do..

I'm glad i was able to help.

Dont't forget that the specular map should be in the alpha of normal map.

And tweak the code below for your blocks:

Code:
#define SKIN_ALBEDO (skin1.xyz) //diffusemap
#define SKIN_NORMAL (skin2.xyz) //normalmap
#define SKIN_GLOSS (skin2.w) //glossmap
#define NORMALMAPPING //do normalmapping?
#define BUMPSTRENGTH 10 //strength of normalmapping
//#define GLOSSMAP //entity has glossmap?
#define GLOSSSTRENGTH 10 //glossmap channel will be set to this value if GLOSSMAP is not defined

#include <scHeaderObject>

#define CUSTOM_VS_EXTEND

vsOut Custom_VS_Extend(vsIn In, vsOut Out)
{
	Out.Tangent = Out.Tangent*BUMPSTRENGTH;
	Out.Binormal = Out.Binormal*BUMPSTRENGTH;
	Out.Normal *= 3;
	
	return Out;
}

#include <scObject>


You get something like this:

I just tryed the trick with models. Does not work.
Now we know how to normalmap levelblock, but how do you normalmap models?

The same way, but your textures should be in your mdl files.
Skin1 > Diffuse
Skin2 > Normal + Specular on Alpha Channel
Skin3 > emissive mask if you need
