In the screenshot in question, the shadow the feathery things on her outfit throws on her skin, as well as her hair, is very strong, and almost looks like an outline, or the opposite of a glow effect. In my personal opinion it's about a 50/50 if it looks better with it on or off depending on the scene. This approximation can work great, but it can also produce some off-putting results. A basic use of normal maps would be drawing different parts of the surface lighter or darker based on to what degree it faces the light source.Īmbient Occlusion on the other hand, is a way to approximate shadows in crevices and between objects that are close together. It's extremely obvious that it's Ambient Occlusion.Īdditionally, they would probably use normal maps rather than bump maps, though they share the same purpose.Ī normal map basically tells the renderer the direction each pixel of the texture faces (its normal) in relation to the surface on which it is drawn. This will display as: Hildibrand is my hero.
