Description
Just the simple Normal Map generator; height information is derived from the Alpha channel.==========Important: Distributed with "Render Maps: Off" – switch to "Render Maps: Normal map" for yourself!==========Note: Unfortunately, the Filter Forge bump mapper seems to be based on the quite edgy and powerful Sobel 5x5 filter, you would probably want to reduce the bumping impact by reducing the contrast of the Alpha channel or the "Surface height" in the "Lighting" tab.
