Texture addon that just adds normal maps?
Posted: Thu Aug 06, 2020 2:02 am
Sorry if I formatted this completely wrong, but I kinda want to play Daggerfall again, but this time in DFunity. The only problem with DFunity is that without normal mapped textures, everything looks kind of plastic-y and flat.
If anyone already has a texture pack that just adds normal maps to the default textures, i'd much appreciate it.
If not, however, i'll be looking into a way to use AI to automatically generate them from the already existing textures
This kind of leads into a side discussion about old games and normal maps as well. Something I often think about is how the ugliest games and many old games we consider ugly often lack normal maps. But with the simple addition of them, it instantly knocks them up a few notches. Like Morrowind for example. With the addition of normal maps, in my eyes, Morrowind goes from a 3/10 to a 6/10 at least.
On a side note, is there a simple way I can just access all of the games textures in like png format or something? I'm sure I'll figure it out, but I don't want to spend too long on this
Edit: I feel a bit stupid for posting this without doing much work on my part beforehand. Yes, I found Daggerfall Imaging 2 on the dfworkshop website
