In 3D computer graphics, normal mapping, or Dot3 bump mapping, is a texture mapping technique used for faking the lighting of bumps and dents - an implementation of bump mapping. It is used to add details without using more polygons.

All normal map textures you create are your own. Textures are not saved on the server and all scripts are running on your Browser. Normal Maps are textures that inherit depth information of a surface.

To get normal mapping to work we're going to need a per-fragment normal. Similar to what we did with diffuse and specular maps we can use a 2D texture to store per-fragment normal data.

Today we will talk about normal mapping. Since Tutorial 8 : Basic shading, you know how to get decent shading using triangle normals. One caveat is that until now, we only had one normal per...

Normal maps are a type of Bump Map. They are a special kind of texture that allow you to add surface detail such as bumps, grooves, and scratches to a model which catch the light as if they are...

Normal maps have a huge impact on the way objects are presented because normal maps don't just fake shadows. Rather, they fake how light behaves on a surface, so that includes reflections.

Triple-A game assets such as characters, weapons, and environments rely heavily on normal mapping in order to look good. But what is normal mapping... and why is its use so widespread?

A normal map is an image that stores a direction at each pixel. These directions are called normals. The red, green, and blue channels of the image are used to control the direction of each pixel's normal. A normal map is commonly used to fake high-resolution details on a low-resolution model.
