uNormalMap

Overview

What uNormalMap does

uNormalMap converts a normal texture into surface-normal detail for USD shading. It lets you choose the normal space and strength without adding real geometry, which is useful for fine material detail that must remain efficient.

When to use it

Surface detail without extra polygons
Bump-like material detail
Normal-map strength adjustment
USD material look development
Reusable normal-map stage branches
