| ok, I'm having finding a normalmap generator... I have got the plug in for Photoshop to create my own from scratch, but I'm after a peice of software that gets a high polygon model and converts it to low polygon but safes all the extra detail to a normal map (like ORB)... but unfortuanalty I can't download ORB... (dunno why) but does anyone know any other software along the same lines? or a working link for ORB... any help would be very useful thank you for reading |
| ||
| I cant help you but im a little interested in this normalmapping stuff as well. So im wondering where the photoshop plugin is to create these kind of textures from scratch. |
| ||
| ORB page... http://engineering.soclab.bth.se/tools/177.aspx |
| ||
| PS plug-in: http://developer.nvidia.com/object/nv_texture_tools.html Normal map generators: http://www.ati.com/developer/tools.html http://developer.nvidia.com/object/melody_home.html |

| hmmm... I still can't download ORB... that link couldn't be accessed... grrrr... oh well... I'm currently downloading Melody... sounds good. normal mapping rocks :D sure speeds up the fps doesn't it? :) it's really going to help with my new project |
| ||
| Hmm, try this link then... (works for me)... http://engineering.soclab.bth.se/tools/SocContentDownloads_GetFile.aspx?id=82 |
| ||
| thank you for the help :) but unfortunally I still can't get a working bump map tool..... (grrrr) they either don't have the right format or I don't have the right shader... grrr.... and I tried to download ORB again... this time it started to work... but it stopped like half way... then when I tried using stardownloader it said "internal server error".... I was confuzzed.... could someone Email me the ORB zip file or setup file? (if that's not illegal or something... but I'm pretty sure it's not) NEwho... my Email address is: Kalisme@... if anyone does that, I'll be very thankful... my current project needs to be helped along... |
| ||
| That really annoyed me. My graphics card didn't support shader 2.0 or something, so i couldn't run the program... SIGH! The shader was really only for the normal map preview. That was just stupid... |
| ||
| ORB uses shader 2.0 aswell? awwww... is there any utilities like it that don't use shader 2.0 and can use formats like *.3ds? |
| ||
| *sigh*... I'm still looking for freeware normal mapping tools..... (that can use a format like *.3ds and don't use shader 2.0) can anyone help? (direct me) |
