Hi,

I noticed that Nvidia Tool (for creating normal maps) is only compatible with all CS versions but not with CC, does anyone knows how to install the Nvidia Tool or how or if it is compatible with Photoshop CC?

Thanks!

really no need for it in Photoshop CC..becasue its already built in

Go to Filter/3D/..and select generate normal map or generate bump map option you want

not anymore! Adobe is removing all it's 3D tools, normal map included. So we are back to square one to find a good application that will make good Normal maps, and no the Nvidia Photshop filter will not work in CC. And no I am not about to subscribe to a new subscription from Adobe just to get that one component!

Hi Everyone ,

Photoshop CC can create normal & bumpmap . Go to filter > 3D > normal map.

That's true, but photoshop won't save them as dds files, hence the need for a plugin.

It's easy...

Install the NVIDIA Texture Tool and just remove the NormalMapFilter64.8bf file from Adobe Photoshop CC 2019\Plug-ins\Filters folder which crashes the application. Now you can use Photoshop's Bump or Normal Map Filter from menu Filter -> 3D and Save As DDS because of the file dds64.8bi which is located in Adobe Photoshop CC 2019\Plug-ins\File Formats folder and has been installed with NVIDIA Texture Tool installation.

I hope I helped...

It seems to be a Win10+CC issue, Win7+CC works.

That doesn't help for FSX or PD3 texture files. They need to be converted from and back into DTX formats.

Have you tried the Intel Texture Works plugin?

Okay I think I figure out the normal map problem. If anyone is reading this it turns out there is a normal map application already in Photoshop cc. My computer has Photoshop 2017 and I simply merged my grayscale images together into one image.

Then go to Filter tab at the top
Go down the list to 3D
It should say Generate Normal Map and then an option box should appear an you can make any adjustments to it. It also has the Generate Bump map as well.

Hope this helps anyone.

I'm also getting the same problem when trying to make a normal map. I'm trying to get the application but as it says they are only for CS. Can anyone find a download plug-in that creates normal maps for CC?
