Why can't I see normal map in realtime maya?

[sweetieyoung]

I dont' know why when I assigned normal maps on my objects in maya, it doesn't show anything unless I render them out. any ideas?

go to the white bar on top of your workspace window that says: View Shading Lighting etc

choose Renderer and select High Quality Rendering. Also make sure you press 6 for view textures on model mode.

thanks. I turned on the high quality render, then I could see them. :)
