Sandro, I am just posting this to find out if these normalmaps are providing expected behavior. nm_yours.jpg shows two textures, tex_nature/rock017 and tex_nature/rock018, up close as I see them.

As you can see, they look a bit warped. I don\'t have a lot of experience with normalmaps, so I don\'t know if this is expected to happen, is a glitch with the normalmaps themselves, or is a glitch with how the normalmaps are rendered. I\'m on AMD so have had problems in the past with our renderer.

The second image I attached shows a sobel5x5 normalmap I made that looks like it is working like the others. You can also see an effect there where, when I am a bit zoomed out and the texture gets blurred, the normals look a bit like they aren\'t lining up somehow, or there is a kind of double-vision effect.

Again, I don\'t have much experience working with normalmaps so I don\'t know if this is just what happens or indicates something is not working right... Any ideas?
