Hi,  
Do you have a shader that can be used for 2d sprite normal maps?  
More info:

> Hi, I recently bought sprite illuminator: [www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMTZ\_urkVjQ](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMTZ_urkVjQ) It allows me to quickly and easily generate a normal map for any sprite/atlas. Is it possible in defold to give your sprite a material that supports a normal map? Something that is more than a flat diffuse shader would be awesome to have! If so - how do you then create 2d lights in the scene that can affect a sprite with a normal map? Are there any example projects we can study?

How does one go about using it?
