BSContact 6.1 BumpMapping / normal mapping demo

Hi all,

I have just finished a litle demo that shows the use of a normal map as bump
texture.

The idea is to take the bump infos from a high poly model and then to remap
it on a low-poly model as bumpmapping

Some screens :

and the demo (it requires BSContact 6.1, DirectX 7, and a Geforce3/Radeon or
higher) :

Cool,
did you use DDS Textures or normal maps for bumpmapping?

No only normal map in JPG format.

I have try to use DDS in many diferent formats without any success.
But DDS format is very new to me and I may have done some mistakes while
exporting to DDS.

Also it is not that easy without the BSContact BumpMapping doc...

That may be easier with the SDK then ;-p
