32K Earth Normal Map

Summary:32K Earth Normal Map VT designed for use with Harald's other VT's.
Description:This virtual texture Normal Map is for use with with Harald's other Earth virtual textures. The format of the files is JPG because DDS introduces ugly artifacts when used for Normal Maps, and PNG's are much larger. Please note that there are no installation instructions included with this add-on, so you may wish to view our HELP page for more information. There is also a small DDS texture included in this package for grey areas.
