NormalCanvas Pro is a GPU-accelerated texture processing suite running directly in the Shader Editor. Transform raw images into PBR materials with zero-latency Blur, Levels, Bevel Simulation, and an integrated AI Depth Engine.

1. Powerful Image Tools

A complete image processing workflow inside the node editor:

  • Selection Tools: Use Rectangle, Circle, or the new Polygon Lasso for complex shapes.
  • Clone & Heal: Simply Ctrl+Drag a selection to clone areas instantly.
  • Real-time Filters: Non-destructive Gaussian Blur, Levels (Histogram), and Feathering.

2. Real-time Normal Map Generation

High-precision normal map generator. Not just a simple converter:

  • Bevel Simulation: Fake rounded corners on 2D textures using Bevel & Profile sliders.
  • Detail Control: Fine-tune Intensity, Edge Sharpening, and Micro-details independently.
  • Format Ready: One-click toggle between OpenGL (OP) and DirectX (DX).

3. AI Depth Estimation

Integrated with the Depth Anything V2 model running locally:

  • Smart Tiling: Automatically handles large images with overlap blending to save VRAM.
  • 3 Quality Modes: Choose from Fast, Balanced, or High quality modes.
📦 Installation Note:
The "One-Click AI Environment Installer" is available in the preferences.
* Expanded support for macOS & Linux is currently in Beta.

4. One-Click Mesh Preview

  • Generate a subdivided plane with a Displacement Modifier.
  • Automatically match the aspect ratio of your image.

5. Smart Node Workflow

  • Automatically import and connect optimized node groups.
  • Adjust normal strength/displacement height directly without manual wiring.
