Extracting Channels

Hello everyone,

Here is a tutorial on how to extract channels from normal maps. My previous tutorial was rather vague, so i hope this is better.
I am not sure whether there are other ways to do this, but this has been a technique that has
been working for me for awhile. Hope this helps!



You can save the .tga texture i have posted here to try it out if you don't have a normal map handy. Bear in mind that only .tga files have the right channels to extract.
.jpegs will flatten your channels out, leaving then unusable.
