(If you're wondering why I'm suddenly doing this, it's because I need some nice textures with normal, displacement and specular maps for my new terrain texturing tests later). This newly released, completely free tool, enables you to quickly create several different material maps from a single image, with real time preview, editing. Do you guys know what algoritm is applied during this process Pixplant and Shadermap do the same kind of treatment so I guess its 'basic' Put appart the recognize shape option whis looks pretty complex. Is it just me? Right now, I'm inclined to shell out the extra for CrazyBump, but I'd welcome some feedback from more experienced people on these or possibly other tools. Id like to generate a displacement map from a picture, a la crazybump, in photoshop, for specific tuning. It creates normal, displacement maps, and seamless textures from plain photos.
#Pixplant vs crazybump for mac os x#
I've tried playing with the settings in both, but CrazyBump consistently gives me better results. New browser for Mac OS X that makes web automation simple. ShaderMap seems to have overly blurred the results, leading to a more plasticky feel even with this natural texture input (BeachStones.jpg from our media folder). Now, of course they're probably using slightly different shaders, but even just looking at the normal & displacement maps, CrazyBump has definitely preserved more detail. restoration output documentation, lead photogrammetry and retop support. CrazyBump in particular seems to preserve much more detail and offers more options for tweaking. I've tested the demos from both, and by my eye CrazyBump significantly outperforms ShaderMap Pro in the files that I've thrown at it.
They're quite different in price, with CB coming in at $299, and SMP at a mere $19.99. whyy NOTE: It is Not as good as a REAL depth map/height map (or displacement map) made - from a 3D model like Zbrush has the.
#Pixplant vs crazybump portable#
Hi folk, I'm in the market for a good tool for generating normal / displacement / specular maps from photos, and so far the 2 main contenders appear to be CrazyBump and ShaderMap Pro. Categories: Software» Specials Portable PixPlant 5.0.35 (圆4) Portable 38 MB PixPlant is a smart 3D texturing tool that creates and edits seamless textures and 3D maps.
