	The normal map effect will not be shown unless you have a specular map defined.

			* If you want to merge two normal maps, for instance, one for the terrain and one for the resources (metal, geo vents), it's not as simple as it might sound if you want to do it properly. You can read about it in detail [http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Normal_map here]. The "Whiteout" technique is recommended, there is a Photoshop action available for it [https://polycount.com/discussion/163801/udn-and-whiteout-normal-map-blending-photoshop-actions here]<br />

	~~{{FIXME}} description as~~ to ~~why you want~~ to ~~use~~ normal ~~textures~~.		Gives the terrain a normal map. This can be used to suggest small surface details while keeping terrain flat. The RGB channels determine the XYZ of the new surface normal (in tangent space), while the alpha channel determines how much of the original surface normal is kept.
