Hi.
Im trying to create normal maps from height maps myself. I have one height map for wich i created a normal map in a third party tool (a nvidia plugin for photoshop). That normal map looks like this.
when i use this normal map for rendering the result is this.
all good.
now I try to generate the normal map myself. The best i get is this
and the rendering result is this...
I try to generate the normal map by calculating and avaraging the 6 surrounding triangles normals for every vertex. like this.

StaticTile tile = tiles[10][5];//one StaticTile contains a 1024x1024 heightmap and normal map among other things.

What am I doing wrong here?
Thnx in Advance!
