yes, however you would need another program, like texture maker.

I'll be waiting for you on halo 2 with a magnum and shotgun in hand!

Yes, DBPro does. But like what Halo mentioned, you will need another program to generate those normal maps. Normal maps appears to be a blueish red texture, which defines the bumps on your model. Most 3D modeling tools like Max creates bump map using a grayscale heightmap. NVidia provides a filter to convert a grayscale heightmap to a normal map.

Good luck!

MikeS has created a normal map generator in DBPro so you won`t need another program. It`s not quite finished yet but it is functional.

And I think you use the set bump mapping on command to enable them
