How to bake Tangent maps in 3ds max.

[ae.]

Hey guys i recently started work on a source project and for my normals they need to be tangent space normal maps as ive never used them or know how to make them, how would i go about baking tangent maps/ making them? :thumbup:

It looks like you have tangent normal maps in your portfolio?

try looking up what they are?

"tangent space" normal maps are the standard ones you always see (blue/purple/cyan)

"Object Space" aren't used as often, and are usually largely yellow.
