Normal Mapping on skinned?

[Chosker]

hello, I'm working on a project and I was wondering if normal mapping can be used on skinned (animated) meshes
so far I can't get the shader working properly so i thought this could be the reason for it

so, does OGRE support normal mapping on skinned meshes?

thanks

I saw a screenshot of the Robot normalmapped in a nfz shader topic, so that is indeed possible.

Provided you use tangent-space mapping and your shader adjusts the normals based on the skinning too, this is a given.

good, any way I can get a shader example of this? I am no good with shaders

[dupleg]

yea yeah.... i also need something like this, me too not good with shaders. i asked for some link to learn shader fast and easily, no one provided! .... i need this really bad

Well, if you find a link like that: please share it with us!

There is no way to learn shader programming fast.

Sure, it is faster than learning C++, but still fairly complex.

so the included ogre normalmap shader doesn't work well on animated meshes?

@jacmoe
I saw it, and yes it's possible I have two models nomal maps.

@Vectrex
You missunderstood everything.

Tangent Normal Map. (ogre one)
Work for animated (deformable) & static geometry.

World Normal Map
Only work for Static meshes.

so why use World Nomal Map. Performance, less shader code.
