Hello!

i decided to share this informations with people who could have problems with it. because myself i had some problems



there are many programs to make automatic normalMap, but it don’t look like we want to.



but how to make it in blender?

first, create a mesh:

add multiresolution modifier to this object:

“Previev” should not be 0! because normal map is then “no precise”. “Previev” should be not too less and not too much.



so here is preview 1:

and now take “Sculpt Mode” and make highPoly mesh you like to have.

i made something ugly:

IT’S NOT EVERYTHING!

blender have it’s own standards, so it have flipped normal colors.



we need to fix it. it can be done easly in Node system like here:

Oh this is cool info, thanks! We should add it to the blender page in the wiki:

https://wiki.jmonkeyengine.org/legacy/doku.php/jme3:external:blender

If you find the time to do it, please upload the images to the wiki, else they cannot be transferred to the manual properly.
