Q: What is xNormal?
A: xNormal is an application to generate normal / ambient occlusion / displacement
maps. It can also project the texture of the highpoly model into the lowpoly mesh ( complete
texture transfer, even with different topologies ).
Includes too an interactive 3D viewer with multiple mesh and textures
format support,
shaders and realtime soft shadows / glow effect.
It comes with some useful tools like height map - normal map - cavity map - occlusion - tangent/object space
and spherical harmonics tools.
All these computations are done using multicore/multithreading,
distributed/parallel rendering, ray tracing and
advanced GPGPU techniques. |

Q: How much xNormal costs?
A: Absolutely nothing. It's free for any use, including commercial one. No price and
no fees at all. If you like it, please, consider to make a donation to the help
us or mention xNormal in your project. |

Q: I can't use other normal
mappers because they calculate their own tangent space and they only allow to use
a kind of mesh format. Does xNormal include a SDK to make my own importers, exporters
and plugins?
A: Yes, xNormal comes with a complete and easy-to-use C++ SDK to write plugins.
You can make image or mesh importers/exporters, tangent basis calculators
and much much more. Look into the developers section into this web page for more
information. |

Q: I want to send you a model
to include it in xNormal or to collaborate with you. How can I do it?
A: Thanks, any help will be welcome! Go to the contact us above in this page and
tell us! We will mention you for the help! |
