Deep exploration can convert any texture intoa normal map. 30 day demo is on their site, you have to register for it, but you get a link immediate in your inbox. Check it.

I thought of a way of create a normal map for nothing!

1. Use a grey scale texture.
2. Apply it to a terrain.
3. Read normals of terrain.
4. Write normal map.

There was another way, which involved a terrain, and 5 lights. But i'm not sure if blitz can do negative lights :)

But that sounds like an idea rob :)
