ShaderMap

What ShaderMap is

ShaderMap is Windows software for creating rendering and PBR maps from source images, 3D models, and light scan photo stacks. It can bake normal, ambient occlusion, curve, color ID, and depth maps from model geometry, as well as generate roughness and metalness maps and pack maps in RMA or RMAD formats. Artists can paint and modify normal maps in the Normal Editor, which uses tools and layers. Batch processing groups source maps using LUA scripting and project configurations. Maps can also be exported to an external image editor and returned to ShaderMap after saving. Its C/C++ SDK supports plugins for maps, geometry importers, and filters under the MIT License. ShaderMap works offline, though automatic updates and the support feed require internet access. The free Basic License includes standard maps and materials, map filters, and the Normal Editor, but disables PRO features and may display ads up to three times per day at startup.
