Without using 3rd part apps like PS/ZBrush, how can I create normal maps for models in Softimage?

Replies: 1

For creating a normal map based off of a single mesh, you can use Render Map (Get: Property: Rendermap). For creating a normal map based on another mesh with more geometry (similar to zbrush, xnormal, etc), you can use Ultimapper instead (Get: Property: Ultimapper).

This also works for other types of maps such as Ambient Occlusion.
