  • Generating Normal, Bump maps

    I used to use the 3D filter in photoshop to generate Normal and Bump maps from texture images. Adobe has removed that capability in current photoshop.

    Adobe steered me to Adobe 3D Sampler but I am having a difficult time using it plus it costs. Not a fully matured app imho.

    Looking for advice on a pshop plug in or maybe stand alone solution. Would be nice if reflection map generation could also be included.

    thanks in advance for any suggestions.
