The FPS did not take a bad hit... Still, I did a brief test on level geometry and it went sour there in the framerate. I'll need to fiddle with it.

After getting a little more done to it, and attempting ps14 support, then I'll make code available.

So far, I would guess that characters still may look better with just normalmapping. But it all depends on who implements an effect and how they do it.

This is just strange..... How it does this .
