Does anyone know of an actual tutorial on how to correctly make normal maps & specular maps for walls? The only tutorials I can find on the subject is for either CAS items, or objects. I know about the NormalMap-Online website, and to add an alpha layer (and all the red to alpha, green to red and blue) stuff, but I still have questions.
1) After I do all the copying & pasting with the layer channels, am I supposed to change the opacity of the image? EA normal maps look dramatically more opaque than the gray image I am left with after the channel copying and pasting.
2) When and what images do i resize. I know there is all sorts of weirdness when it comes to wall texture sizes. When and what are the sizes of the normal map textures I should be using? For example, if when exporting a Short wall texture in S4S, I have a diffuse texture of 256 x 786, what do I resize the normal map to?
