	this Bitmap bitmap,
	bool bLossyCompressionSource,
	out bool bPositiveZComponent
)

Parameters

bitmap
Type: System.DrawingBitmap

[Missing <param name="bitmap"/> documentation for "M:Rhino.BitmapExtensions.ConvertToNormalMap(System.Drawing.Bitmap,System.Boolean,System.Boolean@)"]

bLossyCompressionSource
