Changing / Animated Normal maps

Post by Yahama7 »

It would be awesome if we could make different normals for different rider movements.
I dont know how hard that would be to do but it would look awesome.

I got the idea from FIFA while i was playing it.

For anyone who doesnt know what i mean, here is a video where you can see the different wrinkles on the clothes when doing different movements:

that would be nice..i saw it in mlb 2k9 for the first time and it pretty nice..
actually i think it's a very simple fading between two or more normals..the fact is that probably it mean a LOT more calculations..

They probably have an algorithm that generates the normal map depending on the position between limbs. Would be pretty complex to do id imagine
