Texture Questions

[JimboC]

I was wondering if anyone knows if Half-Life 2 will be taking advantage of normal maps for textures, similar to Doom 3 or FarCry textures.

I was also wondering how to create .wad files so that I could use them with Hammer.

Yeah normal maps are in.

Wally can do that, and it is found here.

Many thanks to both of you.
