Take your blue normal map. Invert it. Go to red channel. Copy and paste red channel into your alpha layer. Go to red layer and fill in with black.
You have a orange normal map now. Remember to save with alpha layer.
Got that from Windexglow on mapster.
It's actually a parallax occlusion map. By doing that method you quoted from sc2mapster, you lose detail. But, yeah I think it's going to have to be a conversion for using normal maps in SC2 though.
Out'f curiosity, how'd you make that? I know of/can think of a number of methods, but I want to know if you've got one I missed.
It's a fairly simple way that involves compositing.
First, I set up my scene. Then I create a camera and an other one right beside it. Together, they form the left and right eyes. Then, I render both camera separately. Using the compositor, I put the result from the two cameras right beside each other and I get a working 3D video. On youtube, I add two tags to my video: "yt3d:enable=true" and "yt3d:aspect=4:3". This allows it to play in 3D using different methods.
Note: In order to get a 720p video, I made both camera be 640 x 720. (640 + 640 = 1280)
Show them your butt, and when you do, slap it so it creates a sound akin to a chorus of screaming spider monkeys flogging a chime with cacti. Only then can you find your destiny at the tip of the shaft.
Now, since it was on a lego, it's hard to judge without more moving joints. Just remember the locomotion originates from the feet and not the center of the body. A lot of animators have this issue where their feet slide along the ground and stuff when stuff walks around because they animated it incorrectly... start proper from the beginning and you'll never have that issue.

Looking much better/more realistic. Now, actually have him walk... and then round house some dudes.

WAT. Is it the model or the texture that makes it look weird at the top? feels like i'm looking at an escher painting. It doesn't make sense to me.
tbh the only thing i can say i really don't like are those pillars. They seem way too out of place/too big in ratio to the temple part. they look like they are meant to be holding something since it seems they are they are at the same height as the flat top of the temple. I want to make a temple now :3
It's the angle of the camera. The top isn't finished yet. As for the pillars, I might remove the back four, and/or put some sort of spiky thing on top.
Red classic.
"In short, their absurdities are so extreme that it is painful even to quote them."
I agree with the pillar comment. They do need something on top, that would help, but they do also seem really big.
The top of the temple is awkward, ut I could see how that would be the camera angle. Will that be an issue in SC2, though, since it can have a similar angle?

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.
Symmetry shouted: Ohhh imagine a SC map that could delete itself
not the map, the editor

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
... I did have a mouth in place but it looked like shit so I got rid of it before capturing screenshots.
