Trevor.Dennis Nov 26, 2013 1:52 PM (in response to kikun84)That was a new one on me. Is it a games creation tool? If no one here has the answer, I see there is a Community tab on this page

JJMack Nov 26, 2013 2:06 PM (in response to kikun84)Nvidia download has an install that will install the plugins into your Photoshop setup. I do not do 3d stuff so I have no need for those tools. I did install them in my Standard CS6 setup just for grins. I did not try to install them into my CC trial nor will I. I do not want to add much to my trial install.

kikun84 Nov 26, 2013 2:10 PM (in response to Trevor.Dennis)Hi,
Nvidia tool is a tool designed for 3d objects (for videogames, films, whatever).
I've checked that link before and in the top of the web you can see for what photoshop version is compatible, it doesnt says anything about CC version, do you know anyone with the same problem?

Trevor.Dennis Nov 26, 2013 2:30 PM (in response to kikun84)AFAIK, none of the regular posters here are into games design, although at least two of us use After Effects. You are FAR more likely to get an answer from the nVidia forum.

kikun84 Nov 27, 2013 7:40 AM (in response to JJMack)Yes, i have tried that, but, as the nvidia web says, its compatible with all CS photshops so my question is: does it works on Photoshop CC? i need to buy Photoshop and if the nvidia tool doesnt works on CC i ll buy CS6

JJMack Nov 27, 2013 8:35 AM (in response to kikun84)Nvidia documentation was written before CC and states the plug_in 32bit and 64bit versions work in Photoshop 5 through CS6. With a history like that if it did not work in CC I'm sure Nvidia would rectify that. Adobe is putting more and more 3d and Web stuff in CC. Normally I would not recommend CC for casual Image processing or 3d for CC 3d stuff is not the greatest but if gaming is your bag I would think yow may want CC. You can not buy a licence for CC. CC is lease only you can buy a licence for CS6. Adobe currently has a special going where you can lease Photoshop CC for $10 a month instead of its normal $20 a month lease price. Deal ends Dec 2 for new users ends Dec 31 for old CS3 users.

9. Re: Nvidia Tool for Photoshop CC
CoolieJC Dec 17, 2013 2:07 PM (in response to JJMack)I haven't been able to get my version of Photoshop CC to work with the NVidia normal map filters, but I think there may be something I'm missing. The filter plug-in installs properly and shows up in my filters list. The 'broken' part is that the filter always generates blank, flat normal maps (127,127,255 RGB) no matter what information is in that particular layer.
So since you can technically get it working, I'm led to believe something else is going wrong. I'm going to try posting in polycount's forums next since I have pretty much run out of places to look for answers.

jmlg12 Mar 11, 2014 11:01 AM (in response to kikun84)Hi,
Is there any update about this topic ?
Even if Photoshop CC is able to generate Normal from a Bump Map I've found that the workflow is not very user friendly.
First you have to assign the bump texture to the diffuse chanel, then you ask the Normal chanel to convert the Diffuse texture in a normal map, next as you have your normal map, you are able to re-assign the right color map in the diffuse chanel.
and edit the noramal map generated to be able to save it as a normal map for other usage (eg if you render your 3D file somewhere else)...
I think that a proper "normal filter" or better a "Layer style" should be the best solution.

lapieuvre Jul 2, 2014 5:29 AM (in response to kikun84)Hi all,
I found a way to get Nvidia tools working.
If you have a version of CS6 or CS5, install the tool for that version of photoshop.
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Filters\ and copy NormalMapFilter64.8bf
To your cc directory plug-in folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Required\Plug-Ins\Filters\
Should work!

jmlg12 Sep 18, 2014 9:26 AM (in response to daves89)Is it still needed with the new filters/3D/generate Normal maps and /generate Bump Maps in the last update of PS CC 2014 ?

defleppard Sep 22, 2014 9:40 AM (in response to daves89)Hello, I have also tried to install the plugin and it seems to work, so I'll show you how I did it so you can try to do.
-Download this https://developer.nvidia.com/sites/default/files/akamai/tools/files/Photoshop_Plugins_x64_ 8.55.0109.1800.exe
-Install it with the foresight to select a fictitious folder, (Test folder is "C:\Program Files\Test\" ), as the destination in way to not affect the PSCC's installation
-Go to C:\Program Files\Test\Plug-Ins\Filters and copy "NormalMapFilter64.8bf" to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\Required\Plug-Ins\File Filters\
-Go to C:\Program Files\Test\Plug-Ins\File Formats and copy "dds64.8bi"
-Go to C:\Program Files\Test\Presets\Scripts and copy "NVIDIA_CubeMapShuffler" and "NVIDIA_Mipster" to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Presets\Scripts

16. Re: Nvidia Tool for Photoshop CC
hopeybear Sep 25, 2014 5:46 AM (in response to kikun84)Hey there there is no need for the Nvidia tool anymore in Photoshop CC you have an integrated tool under Filters>3D> Generate Normalmap.
This will make your image a normalmap instantly like the Nvidia tool use to do and in my opinion it dos a better job then the nvidia tool.
You got the same tool for Bumb maps under Filters>3D> Generate Bumb map.
I hope this will help you even though its not the tool from Nvidia.

czech_Daver Oct 21, 2014 2:15 AM (in response to hopeybear)The function what you mean is very simple, Nvidia is much more powerful tool. We have subscription, but we must still using older version of Photoshop CC :-(
