Re: manipulating FG maps, limiting CPU´s used on the master?

["Tim Leydecker" <BauerOink(at)gmx.de>]

Hi Harry,

thanks for pointing me to your page. I´m not sure wether
I fully understood this:

> You will get basicly the same result and it will not flick.

You mean I should use the mib_bent_normal node?
How do I set it up, where do I plug my environment?

Thing is, I don´t have UV´s laid out properly yet, which
means I can´t optimize using baking and also *love* the
SSS shader slapped on since it gives a Sculpty look.

Whatever, I´m grateful and´ll give it a go now anyway.

Cheers

tim
