Reply To: Correct normal map could be created, to represent the apparent height differences, just like the example height map. Right ?

    Oh ok! So when you are talking about height maps here,  you meant as displacement (vertices are moved) instead of bump? If that is the case it makes sense. Because (I think) even bump mapping relies on manipulating normal information to create apparent depth. Am I understanding you correctly?
