I'm sure they do... I'm not particularly an expert on
anything, more quite literally something like 'Jack of
all trades, master of none'...
So take everything I claim with a fistful of salt.
Then again, when normalmaps are created from images, I
really can't see how they are different, since that is
done using a similar method as when calculating
normals from heightmaps at rendertime. Only when
directly encoded from a mesh, I can see that it is
different.
But again, I don't really know what I'm talking about,
so don't listen to anything I say...
