	Instead of creating a combined detail texture of 4 different single-channel diffuse detail textures stored in a single RGBA image, it uses four separate normal textures.		Instead of creating a combined detail texture of 4 different single-channel diffuse detail textures stored in a single RGBA image, it uses four separate normal textures.

	The textures must contain the normal maps in the RGB channel (standard normal maps), with a diffuse luminance in the alpha channel.		The textures must contain the normal maps in the RGB channel (standard normal maps), with an optional diffuse luminance in the alpha channel.

			Beherith recommends using a high-pass filter on the luminance diffuse (alpha) channel, to avoid visible banding when zoomed out. When using PBR materials as DNTS sources, he also recommends mixing the diffuse and ambient occlusion parts of the textures into the diffuse alpha, as well as keeping the alpha channel centered around 50% greyscale, and with preferably a low spread to make sure that diffuse doesnt overpower the nice normals you have added.

	The system uses the same splatDistributionTexture as regular SSMF.		The system uses the same splatDistributionTexture as regular SSMF.
