There are some plugins for Photoshop and one for Gimp (afaik). I believe that the some of the artists here can give you better advice.

Try to increase the brightness of your normal map texture.

Hello,

What is a good worth for the brightness (means "Helligkeit" Or not?). Becurse a have increase the brightness for 20 to 40 of the normal map (the standart textur of the model Or? Or it is the Hight, dot3 map?) But is the same Problem.

I'm afraid that we need help from one of the users that knows more German than I do

Did nobody can help by this problem? This texture problem is only when I use
the code from the Parallax mapping shader.

I've never used Parallax mapping shader but the same material effect U can get using guitar's NM shader
At this picture... all is mess... textures are in wrong position

Thank you all for the refrences

I've been thinking about writing a paralax shader for a while now. I'm waiting until I upgrade my system and/or buy SPHERE. My computers fast enough to run shaders for testing, but not in a game environment...


BTW: I havn't seen the code for the shader you describe, but somethings wrong with it. It needs to be modified...

Just post the shader code you've got here, I'm sure it's very easy to solve. The only thing that goes wrong is the offset get's displaced by some part of the code. The parallax code would have been used for a wall, not for objects like a tank, because it has this tiling code in it.

It's probably a matter of changing two numbers,

Cheers

Tanks for this awnser, i din't know this. So i use the paralax mapping shader only for walls in the future. For my tank use I jet the Normal Mapping code from xXxGuitar511. It is a very graet code.

Von mir aus kannst du auch Deutsch reden, ist kein problem, auch wenn dein Englisch garnicht so schlimm ist.

Ich wollte dir nur mal sagen das mann schon dieses code für models benützen kann, nur muss mann die code einwenig ändern damit das alles auch richtig funktioniert. Das war auch wieso ich fragte ob du mal den code posten kannst, vielleicht kann ich dir damit helfen, trotzdem, du hast es richtig verstanden, diesen parallax shadern sind eigentlich nicht so ganz für models wie tanks oder spieler-models gemeint.

Alles gute,
