Strange normal maps?

[o0DemonBoy0o]

So I have some models I would like to upload but the normal maps look like this?



Does anybody know how to convert/use them?

Looks like it's missing its left-to-right/X channel. It's probably stored in the texture's alpha.

What's the method of exporting the textures? You might have the splice the data into a DDS file, export the alpha channel and then re-merge the colour channels as Alpha/Green/Blue to fix it.

Thanks. it worked.

My next question would be what kind of maps these are

[Random Talking Bush]

That texture in particular has multiple greyscale maps for different functions. The red channel looks like a specular texture, and the blue appears to be an illumination texture. Green's empty, so I can't say what that's for.

Meaning it's a specular and illumination map the last channel is probably unused.

Neat. Thanks guys, I was able to get everything I needed.

[Random Talking Bush]

Just a thought, too, but you should probably check to see if there's an alpha channel for that specular/illumination channel. It wouldn't be out of the question for them to use that for something else.
