AwesomeBump transforms images to several types of texture maps.
AwesomeBump is an open source program designed to generate normal, height, specular or ambient occlusion textures from a single image. Since the image processing is done in 99% on GPU the program runs very fast and all the parameters can be changed in real time. AB was made to be a new alternative to known gimp plugin called Insane Bump.
AwesomeBump is totaly written in Qt thus you don’t need to install any aditionall libraries. Just download and install Qt SDK, download the project from the repository, build and run. It will work on any platform supported by Qt.

Seriously?... A libre alternative to CrazyBump, and not a single comment?!!
Awesome bump is amazing especially for its price(FREE!!).
The only downside is the lack of documentation, I am struggling to use the material tap!.
Any idea how to run this app on Mac?

This Is Amazing And Awesome Just Like It Name

This Help A Lot
I'm using AwesomeBump now but it takes about 5 min to load up, any suggestions why?
Is this not available any longer?
The download link works fine for me..
Quick question: Does this have a "Batch Generation" feature, and if yes can it batch generate Specular maps?
