Normal Cavity


  • Where to find it:


    • Add Adjustment Layer / Extension Pack / Normal Map /


    • NodeGraph / Right Mouse Click / Nodes / Filter / Extension Pack / Normal Map /





Normal Cavity will create a pseudo cavity map based on your normal map.

The Nodes options behaves very similar to a Levels Adjustment after a channel specific weight.

16bit Normal Maps will give better results than 8bit.
