Normal maps

Read normal maps as lighting detail generated from a height model, not as painted color.

Core idea

A good material page explains the surface model first, then shows how controls affect exportable maps.

Map relationship

Every channel should describe the same surface so color, height, normal, roughness, and AO agree.

Export judgment

Before export, test tiling, scale, normal strength, roughness range, and final target requirements.
