AsFrog Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hello affinity community! Not so long ago was added a very powerful filter procedural texture in Affinity photo . This tool looks very powerful. Whether it is possible to make a function in it to create normal map from bump? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted November 23, 2020 Staff Share Posted November 23, 2020 Hi @AsFrog, From a quick check of the help file here: https://affinity.help/photo/en-US.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Filters/filter_proceduraltexture.html?title=Procedural Texture it does seem possible using the dot and debump options for the Procedural Texture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telemax Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Bump The right one is generated from the left one, using http://cpetry.github.io/NormalMap-Online/ Is it really possible with a Procedural Texture?

telemax Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 At least, it turned out to create Normal Map in Affinity Photo, using the Lighting live filter. Is it possible to create a more convenient way with a Procedural Texture, for live texture editing, in real time?

andymars Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 What is happening with the "background" there? When I click load bumpmap a window comes up and it doesnt load. Confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winx Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) thank goodness for this normal map generator asset. would have been nice to have this built in as standard, but at least we have this. is there a reason why it has to load a bitmap file, rather than work live on a layer within the grouped asset?

telemax Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 It is based on the Lighting filter with the "bump" parameter. The information automatically used from the layers below will create an incorrect dark normal map from any layers below, except white. Therefore, to get the correct result, you need to load the image by clicking the "Load bump map" button.

Winx Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 ok, cheers for letting me know. my current way of working therefore is to create whatever i need in a greyscale group within the main affinity file, save that out as a bump file, then load it for the normal map asset. it's an extra step, but at least it works thanks again.
