[Solved] Transform copy tool - paint normal map info from imported image

[dexsoft]

Whe I use transform copy tool in paint room to paste some amblem onto my model, i select image with emblem, then transform it over model to get good position to paste onto model. Then I press enter and emblem get painted onto model. Sometimes I need that part of that emblem have some indents like letters embrossed in wood. How can I add normal map info to emblem image and gets emblem inserted with some depth info, not only emblem color? Should I make emblem normal map and plugin into some other place which I dont know?

Maybe to use that other spline image tool? But it is hard to position it onto model

Any idea?

Hi 

If you import PSD file it should be prepared in special form. First, press Export button to see how the PSD is organised, there are layers responsible for color, depth, metal, specular, etc.

- They consist of four painting layers:

Color
Height/Depth
Metal
Specular

So each image can paint multiple channels at the same time.

To add normal map info you need to edit Height/Depth layer. The “zero” height of this Layer corresponds to “middle gray” or (127, 127, 127). Darker values will create valleys and lighter values will create peaks.

 

Hope this help
