DPNorm plug-in for GIMP

[nahuel]

This thread is speacially for modders and artists !

I use darkplaces, and I really like the norm_ and gloss_ mapping of the engine but the software to get both textures from a diffuse texture is sometimes silly to use, so I just re-write this script on python InsaneBump python-fu script for windows | GIMP Plugin Registry to get gloss and normal maps (in the same location and with correct names )of any texture with a few clicks














Installation:


NOTE: if you have normalmap plug-in go to step 2






1º Normalmap Installation (required):





Under WIndows
download normalmap plug-in here

registry.gimp.org/files/gimp-normalmap-win32-1.2.1.zip

To install, extract the normalmap.exe file to your GIMP plugins directory.
This directory is usually located at:
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins

Then extract the 3 dll files to your GIMP bin directory.
This directory is usually located at:
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\bin

Under Linux mint - Ubuntu

install from here, clicking "install" button

https://community.linuxmint.com/soft...gimp-normalmap


2º DpNorm plug-in installation:



Download DpNorm here


Under Windows

Extract the zip. It contains only one file: DpNorm.py

Install my script in your GIMP 2.8 plugins user-directory :
1 - Display file becoming by . in the filemanager preference: Organize menu -> "search and directorys options" -> display -> "display hidden files and directory"
2 - Copy my script here: userdirectory\ .GIMP-2.8\plug-ins

Under Linux mint - Ubuntu

Extract the zip. It contains only one file: DpNorm.py
Place the file into the Gimp User Plugin Directory.
On Linux Mint for My user which is nahuel:
/home/nahuel/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins

Then make the file executable by right clicking, selecting “Properties” from the menue and activate “Execute” in the permissions tab.

You are so talented, Nahuel. I have major major respect for anybody that will pick up a language they don't know and actually complete something with it. I don't really have a need for your plugin but, I am very impressed! Awesome job!

I tried to give you reps but it says I have to spread some around first.

edit: I'll download your plugin and audit it for bugs for you. I do program in python so I'll take a look at your script as well. I am only barely familiar with GiMP though.

Thanks!! but i didnt modify the plug-in so much i just customize it to work without external dependencies, (so it will work with linux), fixed save names, and delete some unnecesary functions.

Gimp is really great!! thanks for your help testing!

nahuel,

I´ve never in my life compiled a piece of software ... an it seems not straight forward!

I stick by my peoples, bro. That being said I messed around with it for about an hour and I didn't notice anything buggy. I didn't bother to look at the script cause it seemed to run great. I was actually hoping it was a little buggy so I could troubleshoot some python.

You participate with me, I participate with you. It's like a religion for me.

glad to hear it
play with the values, specially "bump intensity" value using, 1, 2 or 3 (4 is too high)

awesome!

a good feature, you can edit the texture to get a better normal mapping without save it.
