What AwesomeBump is

AwesomeBump is free, open-source software for generating material textures from a single image. It can create normal, height, specular, ambient occlusion, metallic, and roughness textures, as well as convert between normal and height maps or extract bump information. Additional tools include seamless texture creation, perspective transformation, real-time tessellation, material textures, grunge maps, and bump-map mixing. The maker says 99% of image processing is handled on the GPU, with parameters adjustable in real time. Images can be saved as PNG, JPG, BMP, or TGA. The project supports Windows, Linux, and macOS. Its README links a Windows version 5.1 package for Windows 7, 8, and 10, plus Linux packages for Ubuntu 18 and Ubuntu 14. Source builds are intended for platforms supported by Qt, and the project provides a Unix build script. The build instructions call for a graphics card supporting OpenGL 4.0; an OpenGL 3.3 build is available without tessellation. AwesomeBump is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 3 or later. Its README cautions that the current CMake script does not work.
