I feel like he only explained what bump/height-maps do/are but only said that normal maps have 3 channels ... for those who still want to know what normal maps do: normal maps alter the direction in which the surface is facing compared to the actual direction the geometry is facing. the three colors(coordinates) span a normalized vector. Red is X, Green is Y and Blue is Z. an unaltered surface is this typical light violet as it has a maximum z (blue) component and ~50% the other (50% 'gray' is equal to 0 while 0% is -1 and 100% +1) Imagine the vector as a pen balanced on the tip

At 2:21, the equation can be daunting at the first glance but it's nothing but "normalising" the normal vector. Basically, the vector we get perpendicular by finding the derivative (numerator) is some scalar and we want a unit length (magnitude 1) vector that's perpendicular to the surface. That's why we divide by the denominator. So all it does is give us a unit length vector.

When making use of smooth shading, there are two techniques called Goraud Interpolation and Phong Interpolation. In Goraud Interpolation, the vertex colors are calculated based on their normal directions and the current lighting / material information. That color is then interpolated across the surface of the polygon that's formed by the triangle. This means that lighting calculations are done *per-vertex.* In Phong Interpolation, the vertex normals are interpolated across the surface of the polygon and the color of each fragment is calculated based on it's normal direction and the current lighting / materials. This means that lighting is done *per-fragment / per-pixel.* For obvious reasons, Phong interpolation is a lot more computationally expensive than Goraud interpolation, but produces a much more accurate shading that captures things like specular highlights. Modern computers are more than fast enough to do per-fragment / per-pixel lighting, as is the case with Phong interpolation. But when you use a normal map, you're skipping the interpolation of the vertex normals and simply sampling the fragment normals from a texture image. This is less computationally expensive and gives you more control over how the surface is lit because you're essentially telling the renderer which direction light should be reflected on a pixel level. You can make a very low-poly surface be lit in almost the exact same way as a high-poly surface. Tessellating a surface into more polygons can also help lighting appear more smooth. If you do this at runtime, you can have a displacement map displace the vertices of the generated polygons to add more detail to the surface. But if you're not tessellating, you can still use the same image as a bump map, in which case you're just creating the illusion of the surface being raised or lowered via a lighting trick. This isn't as good of an effect as normal mapping, but takes about a third of the data. The use of bump mapping or displacement mapping is a mutually exclusive choice. Do you want more detail, or just the illusion of more detail? Using bump mapping together with normal mapping is possible, but stupid and pointless. Just choose one or the other. Do you want to save memory with a bump map, or have more detail with a normal map? In contrast, using displacement mapping together with normal mapping makes perfect sense because displacement mapping creates actual detail, but may not be able to capture some of the more fine-grained details that normal mapping does because it's limited by the tessellation.

Physics simulations, for example. You could make a displacement map of a detailed object, then reduce it down its primitives, simulate it for much cheaper as there are much less verts and such, and then when you render out your animation, the displacement maps will be applied. So simulating your object doing whatever will be way cheaper but in the final render you will still be able to have detailed light interactions with that object

@@anmoldureja4247 they're talking about displacement maps though, not baking a normal map Another reason you might want to do it is the adaptive subsurf stuff - if you bake your geometry into a displacement map, you can control the level of detail procedurally by giving it more or fewer verts to displace. Throw the adaptive subdivision control in there, and you've got something that adds more detail the closer the object is to the camera So you get all your expensive detail when stuff is close enough to see it, you get simplified geometry when it's far enough that you can't tell, and you only need one base object and one displacement map to get all those levels of detail. If you did it purely with geometry, you'd need lower-detail versions of stuff, and you'd have to mess around swapping them if they ever move relative to the camera

A bump map converts the info into normal modification, but is insensitive to UV direction. Easy to combine or box map. A normal map don't need conversion, it's direct info, but it IS sensitive to UV direction, or tangent space. Hard to combine or box map. Use displacement map without any high frequency detail. Named _H, use for microdisplacement or parallax mapping (not in Blender yet). Use bump map for small details that have high frequency detail. Named _B, use with a bump node. Use normal map for anything that needs to control angles accurately. Named _N, use with a normal map. All these should be set to non-color. Without parallax mapping or geometry shadow shifts, bump and normal maps can look very fake up close.

now how can I reverse this better (asking for my 3d printer)? you can displace bumpmaps and "bake" a texture (any color->grey tex and bumpmaps work) into geometry for 3d printing, but you cant undo normal maps for printing the high poly model. (you want all the faces you can get since they'll be sliced as paths, I have the ram and storage, ill make a 200mb model just to displace textures back into a model) problems: -the seams are broken unless you can find a perfect midpoint (you need a watertight final model so an accurate midpoint saves many angry hours of meshing) -baking textures is like a lithophane and it doesn't represent the height detail that the artist intended (a brick's tex =/= the hightmap) (baking textures is nice and simple if you have something like a spherical photo that you get a UV unwrap to a sphere, you can get really nice small globes or props) -bumpmaps nearly guarantee bad seams (you cant print unless you remesh, you just cant) -gets very slow for hard edges because you have to uniformly spread out your triangles to be displaced -edges of UVs can affect some more complex models if whoever textured it didnt use a smooth island boarder. (fucking UV went over the edge of the image somewhere inside to model and broke the displacement modifier) -white/null gets displaced and will make internal geometry pop out -cant use normal maps I know a couple of these can be alleviated with a fill tool swapping the null textures with the intended midpoint color or remeshing first and somehow using that new UV set to only displace the outer, watertight surface for as few seams as mathematically possible, but both of those solutions are only situational and band-aids to the main issue. Any solutions would be helpful. (the end goal is a high poly, very high detail model of the fully texture filtered, fully tessellated, fully shaded model where all the detail is available to be baked into the model when remeshed for watertightness and printed)
