what it is

Normal Map Bench turns a height texture into a clean tangent-space normal map, right in your browser. Inspect the result under a movable light, tune strength, smoothing and gradient filters (Sobel or Scharr), then export a PNG in OpenGL (Y+) or DirectX (Y-) format. Built for 3D artists and game developers who need quick, private texture conversion: no upload, no account, no remote processing.
