Quote - good one..never knew about the nvidia normal map plug in for PS...thanks

 

Yes that one is a good one but I have found a similar one in Gimp that actually produces not only the normal map but the

The script produces different files within the original image's directory:
the _n is the normal map,
the _s is the specular,
the _d is the diffusion (just the color)
the _a is the ambiend occlusion
the _h is the displacement (or height map)

Have found that it works best with the latest version of Gimp and the plug in is called Insane Map it is as close to using crazybump without the price. Of course these then can be more fine tuned in a 3D app like Blender which is becoming much more robust
