[Bf-committers] Normal Maps Hints

[Bart]

Hello Nathan,

many people love the normal map support but ask how to make normal maps. 
So here some free tools:

GIMP normalmap plugin (Linux, Mac, Win)
http://nifelheim.dyndns.org/~cocidius/normalmap/

NVIDIA Texture Tools (win)
NormalMap and DDS support for Photoshop
http://developer.nvidia.com/object/nv_texture_tools.html

MaP Zone FREE (Mac, Win)
A texture generating plugin for Photoshop that supports normal maps too
http://www.allegorithmic.com/v2/zone_desc.htm

I think tis would be a great addition to the normal map chapter:
http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Normal_Maps.491.0.html

BTW: Well it would be nice if Blender could save images as normal maps too.
