Can you make normal maps in Gimp? Someone said (probably it was Mr Flowerkohl) he makes his normal maps in Gimp and I've tried every single filter but any of them isn't normal map. So is it possible?

I know this sounds quite nooby.

@Nigezu-check at the nvidia website for the plugin.

edit:

there should be instructions somewhere...its fairly straight forward, if the GUI is the same as the PS version, then you should go onto normal map settings, then check "convert to normal tangent space"

Here is a link to the Gimp Normal map plug-in:

I just found it too, it should come in handy.

Thanks Havok, I will try it out.

EDIT: I'm pretty confused with this. I haven't installed plugins before.

its usually as easy as it sounds with plugins "plug" "in" and should just need to be placed in a certain folder...

Yeah there is an introduction that says: Place libgtkglext-win32-1.0-0.dll and libgdkglext-win32-1.0-0.dll
in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\bin directory.
Unfortunately I don't have GTK folder in Common Files. Maybe it is somewhere else. I'm not sure does it work then though.
