Now it is impossible to import normal map directly. The only way - recover displacement from normalmap and then import displacement. But it is not always good solution because of seams problem. Many peoples asked me about direct import of normalmap, so I think that I should do that. It is difficult mathematically, and the import process can take a long time, but I really want to do that, because it is the way how to import extremely hi-poly model to 3DB.
