Too bad its only a 30 day trial:( level 1 1 point 6 years ago Knald, NVidias tools for Photoshop or just baking the maps from Blender. Crazybump Alternative License To Discover.So here is a basic sword model I whipped up in Blender.

A utility for generating Normal Maps, Displacement maps, Occlusion maps, Specular maps, and Diffuse maps for 3D Materials. It has three basic parts:ġ) The Hilt: the 'ergonomic' wooden handle. (teehee)Ģ) The Hand-Guard: the odd shaped piece on top of the hilt, andģ) The Blade: The long, rectangular piece of metal protruding out the top.Īll three of these pieces have their own textures and UV maps, as well as meshes and the sort.

Your dinosaur is beautiful, and Im glad you found CrazyBump a useful tool in crafting him Just to avoid confusion, I wish to clarify that CrazyBump is an open beta test, free for use during the beta period. If you look at the Hilt (pic above) you can see that although the texture is wood, you can't see the light bouncing off the model in a way you wood expect it to bounce off. Some of the software aliases include 'Crazybump Beta Test'. From the developer: Crazybump is a program that allows you to make a 3D material from photo source in less than 4 minutes. It can be used to create maps by using various textures. I dont want anyone caught by surprise when the beta ends and CrazyBump is released commercially. Once the texture is chosen, Crazybump will 'think' for a few seconds and then ask to choose a guide for the shape recognition process.

A real wooden hilt wood have (haha) small crevices and lines where the light would bounce in different directions, creating shadows and highlights. It basically shows two opposite versions of the texture : one with a shade treaded as bumps, the other with the opposite shade treated as bumps. In this case, I chose the second one as pebbles clearly appear bumpy. Same goes for the handguard and the blade.
