    Hi, does anyone know how i can generate a height-map from a normal map? An accurate heighmap without seams at the uv's edges.
    If i use crazybump The applied height-map has huge seams at the uv edges.

    Thanks, I recommend knald...
    Although i don't think it is possible to get a completely seamless height-map out of a normal map.

    yeah worldcrafter. I mean honestly normal > height generation will always leave something to be desired, since there's so much more data a heightmap carries than what is in a normal.
