good evening,

for all the custom content creators and those wanting to become one, here are 3 very useful links:

normal map generator
originally these tool is designed for modding hl2 and the special ssbumps this game uses but can be "absused" to create neat normal maps with just the use texture reference. it's very easy to use and there are also tutorials linked at the page.

cg texures
a hell of a lot textures can be found here. with your free acc (15mb daily) it's a very good start if you are looking for a reference to be used within the level editor or for your custom creatures and level props.

and last but not least
another texture archive
completely free to use with a good amount of texure references.

feel free to add other useful links.


happy modeling/editing - your hard work will be rewarded! ;)

im a big fan of cg textures... its rare i cant find something i can use there, and rarer still i exceed my 15mb allowance... and their license allows you to use them for near-enough anything :)

also, i havent used that normal map generator, but i agree the nvidia one is pretty poor. I forget the name of the one i use, but it looks like the one you suggest does just as good a job.

EDIT: ah, its xNormal I've been using... though it comes with a whole heap of stuff you dont really need if youre just looking for a diffuse/height-to-normal photoshop plugin.

Very useful! Maybe you'd like to put these links in the wiki? I added a free clipart link to the Heraldry tutorial a while back.
