The Disable Normal Map operation automatically scans all parent materials in the project and disconnects any linked normal maps. This simplifies the materials and can improve performance by eliminating unnecessary computations.
Dependencies
This operation should be run before any geometry operations, such as Smart Merge or Create Instances, to ensure material stability.
Best Practices
- Backup: Back up your project before running, as this operation makes changes to material properties.
Considerations
- Visual Changes: Disconnecting normal maps can alter the material's appearance. Use in scenes where normal maps are unnecessary.
- Project Scale: For large projects, run this operation per level to optimize performance and memory usage.
