ShaderMap 3 - Normal Map Generation and More

RSI3D

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know that a new version of ShaderMap is available. I've worked really hard on this release and hope you will check it out.

http://shadermap.com

Major new features include:

• Floating point map generation
• 3D models as source, map baking
• Filter stacks
• Masks
• Improved project grid interface
• Real displacement visualization

For a complete list of features and improvements check out the what's new page.

Cheers everyone,

This looks pretty cool, what tangent space implementation does the normal baker use, and does the AO generator from mesh takes a normal map applied to the model into account? :poly121:

I'm not sure what you mean by tangent space implementation. It uses a cage projection method to determine normals on the source model. There is a control to set the coordinate system of the output normals.

The AO does not currently take into account normal map normals. I'll add an additional AO map that takes both a 3D model and a Normal Map as input. Putting this on the list, thanks. :poly121:
