Does anyone know if anything cool appeared in AI textures/ materials field? Ai normal and height map from photo?
I tried recent Sampler and see no difference , still same blurry , soft, unspecific normal maps . Any better alternatives recently? I sort of lost my hope and stopped to invest my time but still wonder if anyone follow it up closely.
I have an impression some texture providers started to use Sampler instead of actual hi-res phtoscanning and you figure it out only after buying.

The problem is they mostly rely on illegally-scraped datasets. If you're OK with the ethical and legal issues of that (I'm very much not cool with it) then have at it.

There are ethically sourced apps though, for example
