Normal Texture

Normal Texture represents the surface direction of each pixel of the scene. Use Normal Texture to introduce custom light sources to images or videos to simulate natural lighting and shadow effects, increase the aesthetics of light and shadow in the scene, make the relationship between light and shade more prominent, and set off the atmosphere.

Add Normal Texture

Add Normal Texture by selecting Texture > Portrait Normal Texture in the Assets Panel.
