so here is my color map (.dds) (i changes it to white)


and my normal map (.tga)


Is there any way to make these bricks look like theyre actually popping out, they seem very flat?

looks alright to me, some poke out a little, the others are sort of invert

Manually edited the color image to highlight the bricks then make it a normal map.
Then overlay your original normal 50% to get the bricks detail back.

How are you making normal maps now?

haha was responding to codmodd. seems light the right light hitting it makes a difference too. Ill try out some other ones, maybe even just use geo to pop out a few

lol oh, sorry i didnt even notice he commented lol

Ssbump generator is free and makes great normals for codwaw.   
Ndo is more complicated and cost money.
Nvidia has a normal map filter for photoshop.
3dsmax has a "render to texture" option and lots of free plugins.

If you can't get it looking right send me a pm.

you can also make a bumpmap based on the color map with an image editor and make the normal map with it.

you can see the bump map i made based on your texture and the normal map made with it.




you can also see the result i got on crazy bump from this picture.

there's no "bump" in asset manager. i made that bumpmap by myself. that was what i was trying to tell you. make your own bump maps based on your textures and then generate the normal maps using those bump maps.

usually you either get DEPTH or DETAIL but i handpainted the lines in photoshop an overlayed the detailed normalmap with 5 passes:

Here you got both, dont have time to see what it looks like but you try it out since i saved TGA for better preserved quality then shitty imgur
