drawing Normalmaps within Affinity Photo

The downloadable zip contains two *.afphoto files

which allow you to paint inward and outward Normal Map with your brushes.

just open one of those files and start painting.

This is only an example to one of the early tests to make Normal Map textures in Affintiy Photo possible. * heightmap making files are also added

The used method in those files is crude and resource hungry.

Some of the cool features like deciding how the input gets interpreted via curves or the availability to turn vectorshapes to Normal Maps is not available in those two files and the heigtmap solution is also not in it.
