So people have finallye started releasing high quality textures with normalmaps on the interweb, so I thought it was time we supported them in sauerbraten.

The above screenshot does bump+spec, and some form of parallax mapping (needs tweaking). Moreover, all this works in harmony with lightmaps, using a system similar to what halflife 2 and far cry use indoors. So soft shadows with per pixel light, hurray!

Anyway, next release will have this stuff in, plus a nice set of textures to work with. And yes, to see any of this, you need a card capable of shaders of course.

in photoshop, under filters/render/lighting effects. It just applies a light in whatever direction you want. I say reversed light render, meaning I just cast light up the texture, instead of down it. The result is washed out a bit, but thats why I used contrast adjust on it.

I don't have any examples of this, as I was just tinkering around a bit to see how tough it would be to create normals for existing textures. The obvious best method is to create from scratch the diffusemap ( basic texture ) with no shadowing effects.
