Squricle Normal: A Procedural Normal Map Generator
Procedural Normal Map Generation In Blender !
Squircle Normal is a compositor node group designed to bring normal map generation right into blender without any third party apps! Convert your height and diffuse textures into tangent/global space normal maps!
Specification:
The node group takes an image representing a texture and returns:
- Tangent Normals: A tangent space normal map.
- Global Normals: A global space normal map.
- Inverse Global Normals: A global space normal map with negative z component.
See It In Action:
Leverage the power of blender's compositor for fine control over your maps!
Extracting the finest details from your image!
Near realtime results, fast preview!

Changes in v1.3:
- Added invers global normals output. Useful in computing dot products.
- Organized node tree.
Changes in v1.2:
- Slightly faster.
- Corrected the normal computing equation.
- Removed derivative map output.
Changes in v1.1:
- Optimized node tree.
Changes since Beta Version:
- A basic central finite difference operator is now used instead of sobel operator. This improves performance but introduced subtle noise in high frequency details.
- More accurate computation of normals.
- 3x faster.
- Global space normals were added.
- Accurate derivative map was introduced.
- NonSeamless map generation operator was removed.
- MultiSpectrum operator was removed.
