Object Space Normals in 2d bump attributes?
Maya 8.5 on a Precision 690. 2 G RAM, OS: Windows XP-Pro
I am trying to add a normal map I made in another program as a bump map in maya. To do this I was told go to the 2D bump attributes > Use as: > Object Space Normals.
However, when I open the Use As drop window there is only Tangent Space Normals as an option. How do I add select Object Space Normals as an option?
Is there a plug in I can load?
Any help most welcome.
Thanks, Tristan

Why are you using this setting anyway. You said you want the Bump node to use your normal map as a bump... So why change it to normal map?
Just convert your Normal to a Bump map. Crazy Bump is free I think, and it can do this all for you.
Else you could just take it into photochop, then Grey scale.
To be honest I think it will except the straight normal map.

The normal map I made following a tutorial where the user then imports it in to Autodesk 2008. It wasn't till I got to that step in the tutorial that I discovered that this was one of the areas was 2008 is different than 8.5
I'll come up with something.
