The material has a bunch of different slots that you can plug textures into, you apply the material to the mesh, the texture has to be plugged into the material. The normal map is another type of texture that gets plugged into the material as well.

Now I get it. I didn’t know if they were used separately, or all together. I followed a tutorial where I made a “Rock” texture, helpful, but it didn’t explain what each item did.

I also found the material and texture documentation for UE4.
