Heightmap to Normalmap Converterby ~Thumaszz

Flash / Utilities

A simple flash utility I made, it takes the edge around each pixel and then it calculates the edge.

You can view the logic of the generator here: [link]

Pretty cool.

~Jezzamon Jan 3, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

This could be useful. I was planning on maybe doing some normal lighting stuff.

~Thumaszz Jan 4, 2013 Student Artist

Ah nice, if you have another filter type you want implemented I can do that for you

~NaamHier Jan 3, 2013 Hobbyist Artist

since i have no height maps on my pc... I discoverd it also changes pictures into prety cool relief ones

~Thumaszz Jan 3, 2013 Student Artist

Yeah indeed I also tried that

*lyc Jan 2, 2013

i think you'd probably want to use a somewhat better filter to get the derivatives, eg Sobol.

~Thumaszz Jan 2, 2013 Student Artist

Yeah I want to do that later, I use a simple edge pixel filter now because I am generating the normal map for Pixel Art, and Sobol and other filters don't work well on that.

Normal map for pixel art?! Please do elaborate

~Thumaszz Jan 2, 2013 Student Artist

Well I am creating a Flash game, with my new Stage3D game engine ,[link] And for the game I use Pixel Art. It's a strategy game with a day/night cycle so I use colored lighting from different sides for that. So the normal map is used for the angle of the sun. But when I use the Normal map filters from xNormal or GIMP I always get really blurry lighting or weird edges.

I've never heard of that. Will you ever upload screenshots??
