Generating normals from depth

[Chris_F]

Unfortunately the only thing you have access to in UDK is the depth buffer. I read an article on how to convert depth to position, and then calculate normals from that. How could I accomplish this in UDK?

What is the over-arching goal of attempting to accomplish this? Normals of what for what purpose?

Seems like what is wanted is the surface normals in a post processing pass?

The thread poster did post the code used there, and you could put that in the Material Editor using the functions available to you.
