just google it and download the installer. once you install the nvidia plugin, it will appear. you don't really need to use the normal map though, i just do it with the regular bump map (unless it's the chief). I find it just comes out clearer. [ur=http://www.halomods.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=30351l]Here's[/url] a link to how i do it

Hey, I'm lazy. Could anyone send me the finished thing w/textures and all of Master Chief, Marines, and the Elite? I suck at 3DS Max so I don't even think I could follow that tutorial.

Is this Torrent still up for grabs?

If you don't want to post it here, that's ok. Just email me at tranchera.89.2409.17.19@gmail.com

Thanks.

Hey guys sorry to be a shithead and bother you but my bump maps don't seem to be exporting correctly.

Just look for yourself. There's something wrong with it. If anyone knows whats wrong with it and could give me some advice on how to fix it that would be awesome. Thanks.

Btw just so you know i have the latest version of Ch2r, i have Photoshop CS and i have the latest dds and normal map plugin off the nvidia developer site.

[CV] Jordan · Post by **[CV] Jordan** » Sat Oct 22, 2005 10:26 am

i also had that problem when i first started out. i went back into rossgemuend's thread "halo 2 rendering made easy" and redownloaded the right stuff. its a problem with the DDS plugin you're using. dl the one from his thread and your problem will be solved
