rotate your normal maps

Kwramm · Mar 2011

Just wanted to share this script - allows you to rotate a selection of a normal map by any angle in Photoshop - works like the regular rotate tool, except it adjusts the normal map accordingly.

I hope this is useful. Feedback is welcome, although support is limited. I wrote this quite a while ago and found it again.
edit: you can also do this with nDo I guess (except I haven't played around with it yet

)

Thanks! I thought about this kind of script for a long time but had no time to write it!

Works great, nice and simple.

I remember my first tries with normal mapping when I rotated uv islands without rebacking... That script would have been pretty damn handy. It can still be if I ever want to make post back adjustements in the future.

So thanks for sharing !

Absolutely fantastic normal map plugin for photoshop, if not the BEST. It also allows rotating of normals / normal widgets.
