    I give up, I'm asking for help on this too now.

    I have this issue where my NORMAL maps only get illuminated from one direction. If I drive south say, they light up, if I drive north, they don't. If I reverse the normals then the direction changes of course. I've read, "switch the green or red" and I've done that, and sure it switches which way they get illuminated, but that's just depth, up/down or in/out lighting.

    I need it to be illuminated from BOTH directions, and I have no idea what I'm doing =D

    You know what? As usual, after posting, I think I've figured it out.

    After looking at the pictures I realized, "maybe it's because it thinks it should be in SHADOW because the normal map is skewed" and sure enough after looking at the curves, it WAS skewed to one direction. I fixed it.

    Now to just work on the extreme detail of them - far too crispy! Also I didn't fix the ceiling yet, but at least now I know how! Hoooooray.
