how did i manage to generate Dot 3 bump mapping (what i mean the texture with rainbow color - not just white/black bump mapping)
Dot 3 Bump Mapping
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Dot 3 Bump Mapping the big commercial apps can do this. they can do something that makes it useful at all: make a normalmap using the details of the shape of a highly detailed Model and draw it to the UV of a Lowpoly version of this Mesh.
Here's Atis Standalone Normalmapper:

There are also some plugins for photoshop or gimp to create nomalmaps from heightmaps etc., but this doesn't make much sense to me.

You need a Geforce or better.

I guess there is a function to detect compatibility?
For Cubemapping it was:
If GfxDriverCaps3D()>=110
Maybe it's the same for dot3?
