The process for generating 3 or 4 additional textures/materials in GIMP is pretty tedious, and I think it can also be done in Blender, but the learning curve there is steep. Crazy Bump is demoed in this video that Nalates featured in a preview of the coming Materials project for Second Life that uses Server Side Baking. It’s recently updated (May 2013) and it’s for GIMP 2.8, and it’s based on a free alternative to Crazy Bump, which costs $99USD for a personal license. The normal/height/ambient/specular maps for the picture will be created within the folder where the original picture resides.
Load a single layer picture, then choose filters/map/insanebump…, tweak the details, then hit OK. This is a normal map generator from a single image, originally created by omaremad. GIMP Plugin Registry – Insane Bump (based on Insane Bump, a free alternative to Crazy Bump) But the Materials project, which I’ve been folllowing via blogs like Nalates‘ and others, really seems like a game-changer (heh) and people who like to make stuff for fun or virtual profit might need to step up their skillz a bit. I’m usually well behind the curve on changes with Second Life updates and enhancements – see recent posts about trying to learn Blender years after sculpts (and later mesh) were introduced. This might be worth installing the Materials Viewer to test in a SSB-enabled region. I’ll start a new post because I’ve since found yet another tool for quickly generating different kinds of maps for texturing, Knald. UPDATE: I’ve found slightly less opaque instructions and gotten the InsaneBump plugin working for GIMP (and also the fully InsaneBump program working, but it’s really old). This looks so cool and dare I say it, easy?īlender landscape tip weight painting - BlenderNation Blender landscape tip weight painting - BlenderNation.It needs to be a little quirky and not too commercial. Need to find a good stream for my Hypergrid megaregion, so will spend time. GRADE D for me from the SL Department of Virtual Health, and also from the Department of Dummies Who Mess Up Caspervend. Hope it doesn't start a timey-wimey thing.
Let's turn it on and see if anything blows up - trying a very old plugin for crossposting.
