Advanced Member thinkinmonkey Posted October 14, 2016 Advanced Member Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) Hello, is it possible to convert the diffuse texture to depth/normal map? I mean, if you have a look to the picure, you will see only the diffuse I just created from different angles photos, now it's time to put some life in it! I would like to know if I can convert the diffuse to normal map without leaving 3DCoat, so I can paint normal map, metalness and roughness in 3DCoat. Thank you in advance.

Carlosan Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 As i remember, no without a highpoly mesh to bake. You could create normal maps with the free normal map generator from Nvidia. Another possibility is to use the free app AwesomeBump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member thinkinmonkey Posted October 14, 2016 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 Mmm... ok. Thank you for AwesomeBump, I didn't know it. Anyway, I found a nice solution, but it's a "bit complex" and using only 3DCoat, it would be fine to have it with less steps. How does it work to ask for features?

Advanced Member thinkinmonkey Posted October 14, 2016 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 It would be nice if we could avoid the export/import step, maybe with the clip mask reading a black and white layer instead of a painted/not painted layer. I would like to ask that to the 3DCoat team. Carlos, what do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
