Finish a new model/mesh? Got something you're working on? Finish a new map? Here's the place to post it for feedback and whatnot.

all of a sudden my bump maps are different?

Post by gecko753 »

ive gotten into the habit of making a bump map for just about everything, and all was going swimmingly... until... they start turning out differently! i dont really know what caused this... but it doesnt seem to want to stop. i have restarted photoshop and made different ones, but they now all turn out darker.

its not a big deal because in the engine it looks the same but i was just wondering if anyone else has encountered this and well.. i personally like the lighter colored bump maps better.

and doesnt the engine just look at the change in color? not the actual colors...

NOTE! these 2 bump maps are not of the same thing... my problem isnt that bad
