Transform Any Image into Stunning 3D Textures with AI in Blender

🌟 Discover the hidden potential in every image! In today's tutorial, we're taking a closer look at two seemingly identical squares to reveal the magic of normal maps. Whether you're an enthusiast or a seasoned creator, this guide will teach you how to transform any AI-generated image-or any image, for that matter-into a detailed normal map that will add depth and realism to your scenes or games.

🎨 What We'll Cover:
• Creating Textures: We start with ChatGPT to generate a unique texture based on our inputs.
• Normal Map Creation: Using smart-page.net, we'll upload our texture, tweak settings like depth, and invert R and G to perfect our normal map. Save your progress and prepare for the next step!
• Roughness Map Crafting: With Pine Tools, convert your texture into a grayscale image to serve as a roughness map, enhancing the material's texture.
• Blender Application: In Blender, we'll assign these textures to a 3D object. Learn to setup materials, link textures, and fine-tune properties to achieve the perfect look.

There is no need for grayscale texture. You can just use the regular texture plugged into color ramp and then into roughness
