You can make normal maps from the diffuse texture in both photoshop and clip studio; it's under filters somewhere on both
and there's a website ive been using since high-school for making normal maps from the diffuse too: cpetry.github.io/NormalMap-On...

Normalmap-lit pixelsprite art was such a cool PoC element of Galaxxon Legacy when I did it back in undergrad (~20 years ago......). Cool to see Octopath and its various indie progeny pushing the trick mainstream.
Pixel Art Lighter is out now!
I first made this tool for my game, but am releasing it free and open source for everyone.
Generate and edit normal maps and light masks, while keeping your sprites pixel perfect.
Hope it helps with your art or gamedev!

Nice find — NormalMap-Online is the classic free browser option. My point wasn't that AI is required, just that the old workflow (photograph, sobel filter, hand-tune) takes 20 minutes where a trained model gets you 90% there in seconds. Open source + free still wins on control though. Do you use…

I only learned about it recently but it's super handy!
Now I just shade in black with alpha channel off, and lower the opacity to change the intensity. Then I choose a blend mode (I like Tangent Normalmap) and colorize it with Filter>Adjust>HSV to set the shade color. Try it out on something simple!

Sans augmenter le nombre de polygones, la normal map donne à chaque surface un relief qui trompe la lumière. C’est le compromis incontournable des studios modernes. https://jurojin.net/glossaire-3d/normal-map/ #Glossaire #NormalMap

Was wondering how I could convert a black and white image to a normal map. Turns out there was a website for it… because ofc there is.

its literally just a greyscale texture that is used as a value mask, i.e selectively darkening the color texture at certain spots which gives the illusion of depth, which surprisingly holds up at multiple viewing angles despite not even being a normalmap, I think the overall toony style helps tho

i like how the normalmap on these giant arrow signs in props_hydro (cap_point_arrow) when compared to the signs you see in props_gameplay (sign_gameplay01_normal) have aren't consistent

an early test from knuckle jet while we were deciding between 3d models and prerendered sprites with normalmap, a normal mapped teslagrad 2 grue sprite. additional texture data adds up quickly with high res sprites though

here's how i do scar normals !!!!
make a greyscale version of the scar, with white being higher/raised, black being lower/sunken (1st pic is diffuse, 2nd is greyscale)
input the greyscale image into this website -> cpetry.github.io/NormalMap-On...

if ur having trouble there's a website u can use cpetry.github.io/NormalMap-On...
what i would do is make a greyscale thingy of the edits you're planning on making and then overlay those on the original normal map if that makes sense

Update on my Sprites with Normal Maps. I made a small island with a painted normal map. If the ground itself has a normal map the light doesn't make much sense but if you remove the normal map it looks really nice. Next step is a small scene to really show what I've learned!
