This tutorial it's not correct, and kinda misleading.
The correct way to create a normal map is by making a Hi poly model to bake the normals, OR to transform a BUMP MAP into a normal map using the Nvidia photoshop filter (or gimp). Just creating a normal map using a color map as a base, it's useless.

ArmA uses Normal mapping, and the results are the images I put in this tutorial... I know it would be better to use a bump map, but a color one is ok too (for not wasting time)... since there aren't any tutorials about this hard argument, I decided to write one -------------------- Visit my blog about Poker at Blogspot.com

Colour informations are useless for a normal map, it's like creating a bump map from the colour map, the colour hue/saturation of the texture cannot reproduce a correct height representation of the surface you are working on.. -------------------- |
