.:Making Your Own Texures.:. Bit of Help

I didn't know what exactly normal maps they were before now, thanks neuro =)

I found you can make Nmaps with GIMP and the normal map plugin.

I just made some. The wall and floor is models I made with blender, and I made the textures with gimp. for the wall I drew the bricks and shaded them, and then grabbed a free concrete/asphalt texture from the net and bump mapped it 'through' my bricks



The wall looks a bit squirmy, I think I made the scale too high = /
