Normal Map Optimized

Came across this and the difference is substantial. While using this setup in evvee, framerate during animating is increased over 200% and the visual difference is negligible. Bump nodes have no effect on this performance gain and so can be used in conjunction.

Hope to see it included by default.

Thank you for this.

I am not sure how this is relevant for daz figures. The setup above is meant for low poly objects using custom normals, that’s not the case for daz assets. Unless I miss something.
