Parallax Mapping

Main article:  Parallax mapping

Parallax mapping is a shading technique used to give perceived depth to brushes with this applied. In order to have this work correctly, you will need to have a Heightmap embedded in the alpha channel of your Normal map. This can be done with a program like GIMP, and a tutorial on how to do this can be found here
