# How do Normal Maps work in Lumion 11?

## **1. Background**

A material without a *Normal Map* will often look flat and lifeless: 

![mceclip0.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360018479939_1753908093409-2.png)

Adding a *Normal Map* to the material will make it appear more three-dimensional when it is lit up by the sun or by artificial light sources:

![mceclip1.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360018479959_1753908094362-2.png)

There are two ways to add a *Normal Map* to a material:

1. Use the *Normal Map* generator in Lumion to create a *Normal Map* for your material.
2. Use a *Normal Map* from a 3rd party application and assign it to your material.

 

## **2. Using the *Normal Map* generator**

**2.1:** If you have imported a textured model in Lumion and assigned a *Standard Material* to it, you can improve the depth details from the texture by clicking on the *Create Normal Map from Color Map* button. In addition to the *Normal Map*, it also generates a *Gloss* mask in the alpha channel of the *Normal Map* which will improve the way the material reflects its surroundings:

![mceclip13.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360018480099_1753908095039-2.png)

**2.2:** If you prefer to load a *Color Map* of your own inside *Lumion*, click on the *Color Map* slot and pick a *Color Map* file. The *Normal Map* generator will automatically generate a new *Normal Map* and *Gloss* mask based on the *Color Map* texture you chose:

![mceclip11.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360018438920_1753908095728-2.png)

![mceclip12.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360018480079_1753908096321-2.png)

**2.3:** Make sure that the sun or a *Spotlight* is lighting up the surface when evaluating the result. If the depth details of the material appear to be wrong, simply click on the *Flip Normal Map direction* button to reverse the direction:

![mceclip10.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360018480059_1753908097007-2.png)

Before clicking on the *Flip Normal Map direction* button:

![](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/13309040594460_1753908097703-2.png)

After clicking on the *Flip Normal Map direction* button:

**![](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/13309025557148_1753908098602-2.png)**

**2.4:** Adjust the *Relief* slider to your liking. A high *Relief* slider value will enhance the depth details:

![mceclip9.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360018480039_1753908099384-2.png)

 

## **3. Using *Normal Maps* from 3rd party applications**

*Normal Maps* can be created in many different applications. Here are some examples:

- [ShaderMap](http://shadermap.com/home/)
- [Quixel Suite](http://quixel.se/)
- [Substance Designer](https://www.allegorithmic.com/)
- [Smart Normal](http://www.smart-page.net/smartnormal/)
- [NormalMap Online](http://cpetry.github.io/NormalMap-Online/)

Example of a *Normal Map* for brick texture:

![](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/13309040600604_1753908100086-2.png)

**3.1:** To get the best possible result, you should also create a *Gloss* mask if possible. Some of the applications above can create a *Gloss* mask for you. The *Gloss* mask should be added to the *Alpha Channel* of the *Normal Map* in *Adobe Photoshop* or a similar image editor:

Example of a *Gloss* mask for a brick texture:

![](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/13309025559452_1753908101036-2.png)

**3.2:** If you are using Adobe Photoshop, please click on the link below to see how to add an *Alpha Channel* to an image:

- **External Link:** [Adobe Photoshop Help: Create and edit alpha channel masks](https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/saving-selections-alpha-channel-masks.html#create_and_edit_alpha_channel_masks)

**3.3:** Then paint the *Alpha Channel* with grayscale tones. A pure black color will result in very blurry reflections in Lumion and a pure white color will result in sharp, mirror-like reflections. Grayscale tones will result in more or less sharp reflections depending on how close they are to pure black and pure white.

**3.4:** Once you've added the *Gloss* mask to the *Alpha Channel* of the texture, please click on the link below to see how to save it to a 32-bit *Color Map* *(Diffuse)* texture in TGA, BMP or TIFF format.

- **External Link:** [Adobe Photoshop Help: Save files in graphics formats](https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/saving-files-graphics-formats.html)

**3.5:** Then open *Lumion* and add a *Standard Material* to the surface:

![mceclip2.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360018438840_1753908101824-2.png)

**3.6:** If your material does not have a *Color Map* texture, then click on the *Color Map* slot to load the texture:

![mceclip3.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360018479979_1753908102556-2.png)

**3.7:** *Lumion* automatically creates a *Normal Map* based on the *Color Map* texture you loaded.

To use your own *Normal Map* texture, double-click on the *Remove Normal Map* button:

![mceclip4.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360018479999_1753908103215-2.png)

**3.8:** Then click on the *Normal Map* slot to load the *Normal Map* texture you created earlier:

![mceclip5.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360018438860_1753908103905-2.png)

**3.9:** If the depth details of the material appear to be wrong, simply click on the *Flip Normal Map direction* button to reverse the direction::

![mceclip6.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360018438880_1753908104513-2.png)

![mceclip7.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360018438900_1753908105144-2.png)

**3.10:** Adjust the *Relief* slider to your liking. A higher *Relief* slider value will enhance the depth details:

![mceclip8.png](https://support.lumion.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/360018480019_1753908105821-2.png)
