Rider / Bike normals

Hey hey..

Is it possible to make new normal maps for rider gear? Would be great for the embossed logo look and material type..

Adding "rider_n" to the paint should replace the default normal map.

Awesome! Thanks Pib!

Wow.. OK! Makes a huge difference to the look of the rider. Might not matter to some but it's going to be a massive help when skinning! Guess the same works for boots, gloves, helmet and bike? Will find out

Look at that embossed logo pop!! 

Will have to be careful, too much and it will look like a set of leathers. For testing I turned the whole skin into a normal with spec map, when actually skinning properly probably best to make a skin, then make a duplicate as a normal template only including shading ripples and the parts you want normals to enhance.

Thanks again!

PiBoSo, this works great on rider and gloves, but tried it on boots and it doesn't work right.

I tried to remove normals completely by just adding a very low intensity normal map of a block colour boot with a plain black spec map in alpha channel but the original boot normal appears to remain.

Could you please check the name? It should be "boots_n".
Also, please check that the texture sizes are power of 2.

No prob, have checked. The normal map I made from the texture so it's exactly the same size, and is boots_n.tga. Attached images for reference. Thanks!

And just for peace of mind I tried making an intense normal with spec map and it shows just fine, just always seems to have the stock one underneath!

Pib: Is there anything to this or Does it work fine for you? Possibly something I'm doing wrong? Would it help if I uploaded my paint?

The issue is under investigation.
Hopefully it will be fixed in Beta4.
