--Just seen you may be a maya user at which point the links wont be much use :-(--

About 3 pages that way ---> was a thread last week to do with dirt generating or something and in it one of the guys put up these links:

http://maxplugins.de/ - max plugins
http://www.boomerlabs.com/Freeware/OPG/ - Occlusion Pass Generator linked from above

Is pretty useful as it sets up everything for you and gives you easy control of the settings.

Crazy bump can also give quick results plus your spec and normal maps too http://www.crazybump.com/



hope these help a bit.
