Support for CS2 is not in yet, but is currently being implemented. Works for Windows XP, Vista and 7. OSX or Linux not supported.

Reputable Contributor digman Posted July 29, 2012 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 SM2 is turning out to be one nice piece of software to use in conjunction with 3DCoat. SM2 has the ability to invoke an external paint editor right inside SM2. Save the image and it is updated in SM2. I used it tonight to adjust and clean up a displacement map that was produce by the color image. I pushed the statues foward, the walls backwards, soften and rounded out areas plus got rid of spikes resulting in a cleaner and better looking map. Your normal map, AO and spec maps are updated as well... Now i can bring it into 3DCoat for some painting and final displacement. The map is just 1024 and a quick test render with displacement...

Advanced Member michalis Posted August 2, 2012 Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I don't have a PC to test this little freeware. Please have a look http://charles.hollemeersch.net/njob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member J0linar Posted August 2, 2012 Member Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 i actually use njob in my workflow, it produces some fairly good results and i can give a comparison between njob/crazybump/shadermap2 and it works under linux with whine, tested and confirmed teh onyl thing i miss tehre is a 3d preview, i hope the dev includes one in a new version "...michalis: But, what I'm asking from crazybumps or ShaderMap2 is a displacement/bump map from a normal map." u can convert a heightmap to a normal map and a diffuse to a normal and height and so on along with some neat filters (heightmaps are displacement maps for teh ones that dont get it) and u can do the opposite too and onvert it into a ambient occlusion map anyways i hope i helped a bit out sry if teh pic is too big :/ (hope it isnt...)

philnolan3d Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Can it load a normal map and tweak it? A school friend is at a big game studio now and said that they often bake normal maps from high res, then load the map into Crazy Bump to adjust it.

Member J0linar Posted August 3, 2012 Member Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 just before i hit the bed, yes it can u can adjust blur/sharpness along with some filters that come in handy, try the crispy bacon^^ as for displacement maps it automaticly asks u if u want it to invert so its pretty useful for exampel lets say u go the texture way u want to get a normal map out of a diffuse map the 1st u would have to convert it into a heightmap then convert the heightmap into a normal map then back into a heightmap where it asks u if u want to invert it, choose yes and at the end u can get a preety good working normal map made out of your diffuse map anyways njob is free and we shouldnt ask to much of it but it can easy stay on the level of crazybump or whatever u want and ye if u like njob dont hesitate to throw some bucks @ http://charles.hollemeersch.net/njob and maybe he might even update njob in the future, it for sure would be good to have a 3d preview Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
