Normal maps now come through the stylisation. Every style reads its lighting from a Diffuse shader, and that shader's normal input was left empty — so applying a style flattened a normal-mapped surface into plain geometry. Whatever feeds the material's Normal input, an image-based normal map or a bump node, is now wired into the style automatically, on all nine of them.

Measured on a normal-mapped sphere: 63 to 72 percent of the object's pixels change once the map is connected — Cel, Halftone, Ink wash and Watercolour alike. A material with no normal map renders pixel for pixel as it did before, and the new Keep Normal Map switch turns the behaviour off for a deliberately flat, poster-like surface.
