Anyone know where i can find a program that converts a normal map into a hieght map? My Nvidia plugin for Photoshop doesn't work very well.

thank you!

Thank you very much Mr.Morrell!, by the way you wouldn't know how to create occulsion maps in Zbrush?

i'm not sure if you can do that in Zbrush...you could try Xnormal though,it's for generating normal & height maps from a high-res mesh..but a nice addition is it also generates occlusion maps from the high-res mesh

& it's free too :)
