It appears to be an adequate substitute, and possibly even superior to Insane Bump in some ways. Each response is valuable & very much appreciated.Įrisian - Thank you for the link to AwesomeBump. My sincere Thank You goes out to everyone that has responded to my request. Or, if this version of the plugin is no longer available, is there an alternative? Anyone have any other suggestions or advice? Thanks to anyone that can help!

So, can anyone point me to where I can download the Insane Bump Plugin that is compatible with GIMP 2.10.32? I also require a User Guide or some sort of user instructions for this plugin. I have read that the GIMP 2.8 Insane Bump Plugin is not compatible with GIMP 2.10 versions. I have searched for this plugin, but all attempts lead me to the old Python version of the plugin for GIMP 2.8. This version of the plugin was once available from but it appears that the Gimper website no longer exists. It is a plugin for Gimp and I haven't tried it yet either, but here is the link to its thread at BlenderArtist.I am running GIMP 2.10.32 on Windows 11 and want to install the Insane Bump version 1.0.6 Plugin written in C language which is supposed to be compatible with GIMP 2.10. There also is, as mentioned above the other free bump tool called Insane Bump. AB was made to be a new alternative to known gimp plugin called Insane Bump or commercial tool: Crazy Bump.'

Since the image processing is done in 99% on GPU the program runs very fast and all the parameters can be changed in real time. Additionals features like material textures or grunge maps are available. 'AwesomeBump is a free and open source program written using Qt library designed to generate normal, height, specular or ambient occlusion, metallic, roughness textures from a single image. Here is the programs description in case you don't want to check out the link. It is for Windows only (though I think they are working on a Linux version too) and it is not a super simple installation.Īpparently it runs off of something called QT Library, and either I installed QT Library incorrectly or I installed Awesome Bump wrong (I'm more of a Mac user, so I'm not as familiar at the moment with some of the terms referred to) it's probably very easy (for experienced windows users) to install because several of the people who tried it at the site where I first read about it, really liked it and seemed to have no problem using it. I'm gonna check out some of the above suggestions, but I figured I should add another (free) possibility to the list. I've been meaning to get Crazy Bump for some time, but I've been holding out hoping that one day there will be a sale (fat chance) or maybe someone will come up with something similar, but cheaper. For people on a nonexistent or limited budget.
