15 years, and people are still discovering things about this game... frigging Alamo engine, can you work as intended for a change?

To think that for so long we've been doing it wrong. All those years. Even warb's models have the issue, and he's been making models for more than a decade now. Imagine how much better literally every art asset for this game could look by just applying the 10 second fix of re exporting the texture with the fix.

This in addition to the new shaders? The game just keeps looking better. Really stands out on the Tide, especially.

From a tech standpoint I don't comprehend this. Is it some sort of natural bug to the Alamo engine ?

The blue channel is a misterious thing. Deleting the blue channel of the normal map in Unity and letting the engine recompute it saves performance ... :`D

Description

Was recently discovered by community member Enpremi. All bump map blue channels need to be 100% white, with no details or other info. This greatly, greatly increases bump map fidelity. Here are some examples of updated bump maps with 100% white blue channels. They're very crisp.
