Because the [[Normal2dudv]] tool requires Steam running to use it, i went ahead and have written a new program that converts TGA Normal maps (Or any other TGA materials) into a DUDV Map,
A Third party program designed to move TGA's into a DuDv format, without the need of having Steam to be running.
'''That doesn't require steam running'''

Summary

A Third party program designed to move TGA's into a DuDv format, without the need of having Steam to be running.

Usage

  • Place the Application in the same folder as your materials. (Optional)
  • Open the TGAtoDUDV.exe and it will ask you to choose a TGA file to convert.
  • Double click the file you want to convert (Sorry no batch support as of yet)
  • A message should appear saying "Sucess! Your new DUDV map was saved to ..."
  • The new DUDV texture will have the appended _dudv to the end of the filename.

For best results, Convert a pre-ready Normal Map with this program
