I was wondering if someone might be able to help out with this. I've got the bump files for the Ghostbusters models from the 2009 game, but I need to turn them into normals. Is this possible? I've noticed that the original DDS file (from the converted TEX File) has an Alpha layer that's off when I open in Photoshop. Loading it up, it looks like this...

Here's the same with the alpha on:

Anyone able to help me out?Here's the original dds file... http://sta.sh/download/1484165213218424 ... 1469203777

Copy contents of alpha channel to the red channel. Get rid of alpha if you need.
Leave green as it is.
Fill blue channel with white and you're set.

End effect :D
