nDo - Normal Map Plugin For Photoshop

<< < (2/3) > >>

kat, remind us which image editing app your using? also does gimp has a normal map plugin, do any of you guys know?

kat:
I've always used Corel graphics suite (CorelDraw). Gimp does have a plug-in that was the better of the 2D 'converters' (better than the one PhotoShop used to have). It's still nowhere near what CrazyBump can do or this nDo appears to be able to do. If you search for "gimp normal map converter" or something along those lines you'll be able to find it. Corel used to be able to use PS plug-ins but deosn't appear to be able to anymore - blocked by Adobe I guess.

kat, understood to all that, and do you use cb much nowadays? i haven't used it since the beta, but that's mainly because i used blender when i was working with normals, but i could do with a quality 2d to normal converter.

edit: i'm still getting that forum bug where it takes me back to the topic list after posting, did you find time to look into that, and if so do you think your be able to fix it?

kat:
If you don't have Photoshop the only decent 2D converter that you don't have to buy is the one that plugs in to GIMP - there are some links in the resources section of the normal mapping tutorial. Although nothing really compares to CrazyBump, I haven't been doing much normal mapping lately and buying a non-commercial edition of something isn't cost effective.

Re: returning to post... not found a solution to that yet.

[EDIT]I've added nDo to the normal mapping tute and added an alternative link to download the GIMP plug-in as the original times out/appears to be dead now.

kat:
silicone, do you have a copy of the nDo zip file of whatever package it came in? As of writing the site is down and showing a Sedo ad page; if the site is down permanently I'll see about sticking the plug-in on the tools page here. Alt download and site can be found here - http://quixel.se/ (courtest of polycount)

[EDIT]nDo is now a commercial plugin/app
