Hello As you know Radiosity Normal Mapping is a method that have been used in Half-Life®2 / Valve Source™Shading http://www2.ati.com/developer/gdc/D3DTutorial10_Half-Life2_Shading.pdf In a doc they say : In Radiosity Normal Mapping, we transform our basis into tangent space and compute light values for each vector. Therefore we will have 3 lightmap in tangent space. I just want to know how should i compute these 3 ligth map or better to say dose anyone know any render engine that do this task. Iam expert in mentalray but i dont see such an option in a bake section. Any help would be extremely useful. Thanks in advance.

Thanks alot Vico
