kmkolasinski / AwesomeBump

AwesomeBump is a free program written using Qt library 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.

Good question :) Currently I'am working on 2.0 version where there are no plans for adding PRB functionality, but maybe in 3.0 version... The biggest problem is that I am not familiar with the concept of the PRB, so I will have to learn it, understand and implement, I think the first two will take me most of time. If you have good sources with well explained texts about PRB, calculation Metal & Roughness maps, etc., it would be nice to read them. Regards, KK
