ShaderMap 4 for Windows

[ #shader #3dmodel #Material #Software #texture #Download #news ]ShaderMap is an image generator for 3D artists that enables them to generate maps from source images and source 3d models, using a plugin to generate each map. It also provides a 3D interface for visualizing generated maps on 3D models, which is called the Material Visualizer. ShaderMap can export any map to an external editor, batch process large groups of source maps, create unique configurations of maps, and is expandable with plugins and materials using the ShaderMap SDK.

Features
•Fast Map Generation
Select the source type then load the source file - ShaderMap will create a project generating common maps from the source. It's that easy.
•Bake Maps from 3D
Load a 3d model into the project grid and render normal maps, AO, curve, color ID, and depth from the model geometry.
•Fast Floating Point Pixels
ShaderMap uses 16 bit floating point pixels on all images to ensure accurate detail and speed throughout the workflow.
•Model Setup
Tools and interfaces are included for pushing and scaling projection cages, defining material IDs, and coloring triangles.
•Batch Processing
Process and save generated maps for multiple source files. Coming soon in version 4, scriptable batch processing for multiple source projects.
•Plugin SDK
Develop plugins using Visual C++ to add new maps, filters, and geometry importers. Visualizer materials are built with HLSL / XML.
•Normal Map Editor
Paint normals and displacement to the SM4 layer system. Transform, scale, paint, and use tools to modify normal vectors.
