The tool is now also available as a free, non-commercial version. The new functions include
- Color ID maps that you can generate from 3D models
- new normal-map workflow with editing of highs, mids and lows when creating normal maps via displacement.
- revised 3D preview that displays more information about the selected texture map with Normal Radar and Histogram.
