Normal Mapping

Check this little freebie out.
While I have not used it in any applications so far, I can see it of being very useful for ArmA normal mapping.

This is cool. I've generated a normal map using this cravybump tool but i'm stuck in texview now. How do i apply the normal layer i've generated to the texture? Can this be done within texview or do i need to define the normals in a config (as explained in linkersplits tutorial)? any ideas?

I wouldn't say these are great, by any means.
These are simply generic normal maps, made from B&W bump maps. Nothing special at all. I real normal map, one that actually looks good, is derived from a highpoly model.

see my tutorial
you have to configure them, since we can't apply rvmats to a model we make
