require a simple normal map app

Hi,

We are looking for GIMP developers interested in creating a simple to use normal map generator for our future 3D scanners.

Our group will soon be launching a crowd funding presentation to commercialize a professional quality 3D scanner, designed for mainstream use. All of the technology is developed by us and in use by professionals around the world in top corporations, studios and institutions. We intend to make a new product much simpler to use and lower the price points down to appeal to the casual user, gamer, artist and schools, while keeping the quality top rate.

We, like you, think 3D should be everywhere. To get quality at a maximum, which is the hallmark of our scanners, our point cloud density can be large. So we need to include or have a simple method (could be in the form of a plug-in app) that allows our inexperienced user base to make a normal map so files can be posed online for viewing or used in a game engine. Our goal is step by step simplicity for all processes, recognizing that our client base wants quality results, but have no time or interest in themselves becoming experts. If you already have or are interested in creating a straight forward solution, please let me know.

Best Regards

Brad Moore

Would the resulting software be licensed under the GPL, i.e. libre/free?

Is it something that would be distributed with GIMP?

There's an existing project, NormalmapGen: http://normalmapgenerator.yolasite.com/

It's currently unreleased, but the source code's available, and it uses Qt for toolkit, so it's easily portable.
