-====== HOWTO Create Normal Map from Ground Detail Texture ======
-How do you create normal map NOPX image out of your CO ground detail texture (GDT)?
-m1lkm8n: I usually start by creating a nohq map which is the normal map. I use a program called pixplant which can spit out nohq and other maps at the same time. so ill load my main main texture in and export a nohq and the displacement map. then in photoshop I open the nohq map and go to the blue channel and delete whats in it. then I create an alpha channel and paste my displacement map into it. the displacement map acts as a sort of heightmap. so youll want to be careful as any dark areas in your texture like a shadow will show up as a depression in your nopx map. once done save and open in textview and save as a paa with the _nopx suffix
