BGE / GIMP Tutorial: Normal Maps for 2D Sprites
706Hey, there! Here's a tutorial about making a normal map for a 2D sprite and applying it in the Blender Game Engine. The use of normal maps in 2D games has gotten popular recently, so I thought I'd make a tutorial showing how to really use 2D normal mapping with sprites in the BGE (hopefully) effectively.
If you like the tutorial, throw a buck or two my way for every ______ I create at my Patreon page:

Here's the normal map plug-in if you don't have it in GIMP already:

If it doesn't work, you'll have to search around. InsaneBump is an alternative if you so choose and don't use Mac:

Thanks for watching!
