CraftPBR vs NormalMap AI

CraftPBR is a web tool for generating tileable PBR material sets from text prompts, with reference-photo generation available on Pro. A set includes albedo, normal, roughness, and height maps; exports also include metalness and derived ambient occlusion. The browser generator uses WebGPU, and the site says materials can be generated in under eight seconds. Users can adjust tiling, roughness, and normal strength, then preview materials on a sphere, cube, or cloth. Export presets are listed for Unreal, Unity, Godot, and Blender, with PNG as the export format. Community materials can be browsed, downloaded, forked, and remixed; published materials are free, remixable, and credited. Free-plan materials appear in the public Community library, while Pro projects can remain private. The Free plan provides 10 credits per month for 1K materials. Pro costs $19 a month and Studio costs $39 a month; a one-time credit pack costs 9.99 USD once. Monthly credits reset each cycle and do not roll over, while credit-pack credits never expire.

NormalMap AI is a browser-based tool suite for generating PBR textures from images or text descriptions. Uploading an image automatically produces height, normal, roughness, metallic, ambient occlusion and ORM maps; users can adjust normal strength, blur, displacement depth and roughness, then preview the material in 3D. A separate AI generator creates textures from prompts, with daily free AI credits. The seamless texture tool blends image edges to make textures tileable. Generated maps are intended for Unity, Unreal Engine or Blender, and users can flip the green channel for DirectX or OpenGL. The free in-browser PBR tools process images client-side, while AI generation stores generated textures, prompts and usage metadata. The service says generated textures are stored in Cloudflare R2 with account-scoped access, and offers controls to access, correct or delete personal data. It runs in browsers on Android, iOS and the web, including capable mobile devices, but is optimized for desktop use. The Free plan includes local tools and daily credits; Lite costs $8.90 a month. One-time credit top-ups cost 9.90 USD and do not expire.
