Resources for using normal mapA type of Bump Map texture that allows you to add surface detail such as bumps, grooves, and scratches to a model which catch the light as if they are represented by real geometry.
See in Glossary textures to add surface detail such as bumps, grooves, and scratches that catch the light.

| Introduction to normal maps | Learn about how normal maps work, and the difference between bump mapsAn image texture used to represent geometric detail across the surface of a mesh, for example bumps and grooves. Can be represented as a heightmap or a normal map. More info See in Glossary, normal maps and height maps. |
