help needed to get nvidia plugin for ps cs4 64 bit running

Japhir

Hi guys!

I wanted to create some custom skins for League of Legends, and somehow I can't get the nvidia plugin to install in photoshop. Running CS4 64 bit.
I remember it used to run perfectly on CS2 and photoshop 6 (the one i had before cs2 lol).
I tried reinstalling, installing an earlier version etc. but nothing is workning apparently.

I need it to be able to work with the .dds files LoL uses.

Thanks in advance for the help!

You are talking about the nvidia plugin for creating normal maps right? Well that plugin does not work in 64bit only 32bit. You can always try XNormal....does a good job and adds has a CS4 64bit plugin and it's free!

Yep, 64-bit won't work I'm afraid. I wonder if it's worth asking NVidia to recompile it?

nvidia stated they will not be supporting the nvidea filter from now on. I would suggest using the xnormal plug in for photoshop. It works great!

aaahh ok that's pretty stupid of them .

i'll just run the 32 bit version then, thanks!

tekmatic: no i don't need normal maps, just need to be able to import/export the .dds files. LoL is a diffuse only game .

they wont continue supporting it, especially for .dds export because they have texture tools 2 which is much more powerful.
