Juanxer Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 For a human head model, I have a Normal Map for its facial features (facial muscles, wrinkles, etc.) and another for a clawed skin scar. Each map works well by itself, but If I stack both of them, the one on top prevails, the one below showing no effect whatsoever. Is there any way, any blend mode or any other method, that will mix them as if both features were in a single map? I've been playing with the blend mode of the Normal Map on top, to no avail: No matter which blend mode I choose, the result is exactly the same.

Tomas Egger Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Ola my friend! Hmmmm... need to test! Did you open both maps on Photoshop and blended there? What happens? Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juanxer Posted October 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Looks like Photoshop's Overlay transfer mode does exactly what's needed: when applied to the layer on top it mixes both Normal Maps' blueish textures perfectly, as if both were a single thing. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to combine my textures there. Might it be that EIAS' texture blend modes are disabled for Normal Maps?

Tomas Egger Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Ola! I will need to test! Can you upload a really simple project with these both maps? Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juanxer Posted October 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Sorry, I had to go leave. There you are :) https://we.tl/t-dlasLlLwKb Something I just noticed now is that those normal maps lack information in the blue channel. It seems that was deliberate, though. I wonder if that's tripping EIAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
