Strange normal maps?
#1
So I have some models I would like to upload but the normal maps look like this?

Does anybody know how to convert/use them?

Looks like it's missing its left-to-right/X channel. It's probably stored in the texture's alpha.

What's the method of exporting the textures? You might have the splice the data into a DDS file, export the alpha channel and then re-merge the colour channels as Alpha/Green/Blue to fix it.

Thanks. it worked.

My next question would be what kind of maps these are

That texture in particular has multiple greyscale maps for different functions. The red channel looks like a specular texture, and the blue appears to be an illumination texture. Green's empty, so I can't say what that's for.

Meaning it's a specular and illumination map the last channel is probably unused.

Just a thought, too, but you should probably check to see if there's an alpha channel for that specular/illumination channel. It wouldn't be out of the question for them to use that for something else.
