#CRAZY BUMP SOFTWARE#
Plus, it supports exporting normals, displacement, occlusion, specularity, and diffuse these. CrazyBump is a standalone texturing software to export bump, normal, displacement maps from photographs or scanned images and generates lighting maps from 2D textures. It doesn’t offer many adjustable parameters, but still has a lot more details than the functionally similar Photoshop plugins, and is much easier to operate. It doesn't do anything that you can't do by hand, but it can save you a whole lot of time - whether it is priced right or not depends on a.) the value of your time and b.) the amount of time it will end up saving. CrazyBump is simple, easy-to-use yet professional 2D photo-to-3D map generation application.

The key being that even here it is significantly faster than manual creation of your maps.Īs for cost - I would consider it to be in the same classification of software as the procedural city tool that was mentioned on this forum the other day. I've tried awesomebump but crazybump makes it seem inadequate.
My only concern is the lack of user support since it's quite an old product now. Whats a bump map you ask Per wikipedia, 'Bump mapping is a technique in computer graphics for simulating bumps and wrinkles on the surface of an object. A utility for generating Normal Maps, Displacement maps, Occlusion maps, Specular maps, and Diffuse maps for 3D Materials. I know crazybump has been asked about over the years here as I did a search, but I'm tempted to buy a licence for it. The results are comparable to manual creation - especially if you spend the time to use it as a tool rather than just treating it like one click creation. CrazyBump creates displacement, normal and even fake occlusion maps from 2D images. It does all the heavylifting for your normal and bump maps. Anyway, in my experience it is very useful software for making a lot of the tedious process of textures -> maps reasonably quick.
#CRAZY BUMP LICENSE#
I purchased CrazyBump when it came out of beta ( I had already been using it in Parallels and read that you could convert your license to a Mac license when it is released ).
