What are these?
Should/could modders use these to make new art? As opposed to using the exsisting bmps.

normal maps are a special effect that add detail (like bumps/scratches/rivits) to your model. The normal maps make these surfaces look 3D - they are in effect a shader effect. We use a filter from photoshop to create those (nvideia normal map filter plug-in from photoshop)

You can learn a lot about normal maps at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_map
