PS2 does bump mapping
« Reply #15 on: April 01, 2003, 12:55:39 AM »
Actual method for rendering bumpmaps in dx2 and doom3 is actual per-pixel lighting, which uses dot3 to calculating surface normals and bumpmaps are stored as normal maps.
this tech is very different and does have better quality than the one i described in my previous posts.

doom3 uses bumpmaps in a genious way of storing surface parameters of high-polygon object to a texturemaps of low-polygon version of that same object.

heres some links to pages which explain it.
(commerical plugins for lightwave and 3dsmax)

Just so you people know, there were very early PS2 demo\'s (Stretch Panic) which featured bump-mapping.  So this is hardly a new thing.  :)

Looks kinda like bumpmapping, but could be good texturing huh?


looks better on the orange balls than pipes cause at close its just texture it seems

I would love PS2 to show off some bump mapping, but I don\'t see it happening.
