hi
my friend said that there is a tool from ATI that makes a normalmap from a highpoly model (in blender i think).
does anyone know where i can download this tool???
thx
sam

look in here http://ati.amd.com/developer/tools.html

You mean 3DBrush? or TGAtoDOT3 (normal map generator from .tga)?

@ 3DRichard
i have this link already but i dont know which of these tools is the right. ^^
sam

i searched for that blender plugin(script), but it seems that all links to that script are down. So i guess you will need to use other normalmap maker

ok but which "other" normalmap maker??
i mean not the normal ones i mean the one that can make normalmaps of models.
sam

i haven't used any of the normalmap makers, so i can't tell you which is the best. maybe try this one Xnormal

i use nvidia's melody (google it).

it works well enough not the nicest workflow though.

i export to wavefront obj from blender, and open that in melody (make sure u choose to use the model's texture coordinates). then generate normal map (after tweaking some settings) and if i look in the folder the model exists in there are now a tangent space and object space normal map in DDS form.
