Hi all,

I want to contribute a small, but nice tool.

What is it?
It's a normal map generator. But it also featuring a real-time preview of the normal-mapping shader. You can also export the material and the shader. It's easy to use and a fast tool for creating normal maps for models... and add them a shader.

So all shader noobies (like me ) have now an easy tool to make their own normal-mapping.

Here's a small Screenshot:


Features:
Easy normal-map creation
Supported formats: bmp,tga,pcx
RealTime 3D-Preview
Include code export
+ Fake Bump-Mapping creation (rendered shader on textur, buggy)
English and German
Free for commercial usage.

Have fun!

Notice: You find your exported shader and normal map in the export folder of the program.

If you want to try an example texture, open "example.bmp"

Download it!

Btw: Special thanks to Slin, he knows why

Nice and handy tool, great effort TS
Maybe you could implant a feature that gives the normal map a sertain height (in coordinates of course) to achieve height maps which can be used for parallax mapping or sort like

Cheers

looks good, but on a quick note, you put:

Step 2: Select the strange of the normal map

I think strange should be strength - You're german so I can't give you a hard time about english...

Nice tool. Would be great if it has a Open File Dialogue
for texture file.

Hi,

thx for all your comments first!

I've worked on it to make it easier. So I've implemented an "Open..."-File dialogue, as it was whished.
I also have added a title for each "window".

@xxxGuitar: Sorry for this mistake, has also fixed now
Btw.: You can edit your language file ^^

You can download the new version (1.1) under the same link, look therefore in the first post.

If you have other great ideas, let me hear them

Have fun
TSGames

Hi, I know that it isn't great that you have to restart. But I haven't find any way to change the skin of a model in real time (with right scalation), and no one could help me doing this.
