Crazy bump is very simple and quick. UI, ease of use and speed.

Sometimes the end result of the maps produced looks a bit clunky or unusual depending on the image used so you may need to tweak it a bit or re-do the whole conversion and parameters.

IF you need a quick solution for producing normal maps for 3D or graphic content, this is a free and quick solution

  ### 3. Awesomebump 

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jash D. | Research Assistant, Computer Networking, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 25, 2018

**What do you like best about Crazybump?**

Supports great features, such as the addition of grunge maps. Being open source, along with the price of nothing makes this. It is easy to use and does what it says on the box,from memory the Nvidia one has the advantage of working inside Photoshop , there's also Xnormal if you want to create normal and height maps 

**What do you dislike about Crazybump?**

Hate it when the only information source is a video, especially one for which the format is "unsupported". Not into just clicking links with no basic information to go on, especially when it is pointed out that they are on a "secure web thingy".CrazyBump hasn't been updated with new features even since it came out

**What problems is Crazybump solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Crazy bump uses a simple layout, and a nice real time 3d view port with enough options to get what you want, and a relatively large documentation.
