Normal mapping?

[Comstedt]

The game supports normal mapping right? Crews must have them,
Is it possible to add them to other objects, subs etc?

Your question is not clear.

Not clear, the game seems to support normal maps, but I cant see any except on the Crew, all I want to know is if it's possible to make the game use normal maps for Submarines, or other naval units.

(i also didn´t know what it was about, just had in mind it had something to do with textures...)

my posting was more adressed to the others didnt´t know exactly what normal mapping is about (like me).

I´d say Seeadler is the right guy to ask about such graphic related stuff in sh3, but i don´t know if he´s active at the forum atm.

sorry for my english ;)

I knew what you meant, lol. Done alot of skinning for Day of Defeat (HL Mod) and used normal maps alot.

The default models do not include a normal map of any kind. None of the custom ones I have looked at do either. I am 99% sure that the answer to this is no. Too bad really, a nice normal map would really make the skin on the subs come alive.
