Normal map creation??

Postby badwolf » Sat Jun 03, 2017 2:43 pm

Do any of y'all know how to make normal maps WITHOUT paying large amounts of money??


Bonus points if Blender (without a paid plugin) can be used in some sort of Paint Mode

Yeah, I've been planning to make a tutorial for this.

Basically you can use blender sculpt mode and then "render" the normal map onto an image, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8giubIE1LY
