I have a greyscale normal map texture. I can't figure out how to make it into a normal map texture with color. How would I do this in Blender. I attached the greyscale.

If it hasn't exploded yet, I haven't touched it.

Here it is put through NVidia's Normal Map filter plugin for photoshop (google it, its free). You'll never get a perfect effect generating normals from an image, true normal maps need to be rendered from a 3D model to give the best effect, but if you're just looking for some added ridges and wrinkles in the model then the image I've attached should do fine.

Okay, that will do. Thanks.
