My graphics card couldn't support the proper shaders to use it back around a year ago, but because I've upgraded since then, I might give it another try. heh.

Yeah, it can be any card, but you need to support both PS 2.0 and VS 2.0 for it to run.

Ooh, me likey that tool. Nice and fast normal mapper, quite a bit faster than ATI's. I'll have to use this a bit more some time.

Cheers,
