Insane Bump

Update: Issues corrected, Restore Default button added added 64Bit Ubuntu Version
This is a C language version of the Insane Bump plugin. I have converted the Python code to a C language program and all the needed libraries and tools to do so. I have improved upon this program by adding an AO adjustment and 5 Preview panes. This is the Sixth release.
This plug-in produces different files within the original image's directory:
the _n is the normal map,
the _s is the specular,
the _d is the diffusion (just the color)
the _a is the ambient occlusion
the _h is the displacement (or height map)

Attachments Explained

InsaneBump-Windows-1.0.6.zip

The executable InsaneBump.exe. Zipped up so it can be attached. It was compiled with MinGW very latest version. This plugin works with Gimp 2.8. Built and tested on 2.6 and 2.8.8.
I also wanted to note that this file InsaneBump-Windows-1.0.6.zip is for Windows Operating System.
This new version give windows gimp InsaneBump the 5 preview panes too.
The mingwm10.dll is included but probably not necessary.
Source code is at google code https://code.google.com/p/gimp-plugin-insanebump.

InsaneBump CodeLite

I am no longer attaching the CodeLite Project. The source code for Windows and Linux
is located at https://code.google.com/p/gimp-plugin-insanebump.

gimp-plugin-insanebump-Ubuntu-1.0.6.tar.gz

The executable gimp-plugin-insanebump. Tar-ed and gzipped up so it can be attached to this web page. It was compiled with the GNU compiler on Ubuntu 12.04.

GimpLibraries for CodeLite

In order to compile with CodeLite and MinGW I needed to create some lib files from Gimp dll's.
I created a separate CodeLite Project for that. It is a non-source project. The directory names
inside the project settings will have to be changed to work on your machine. And again
this was designed from Gimp 2.6.11 source code for the def files. All at google code:
located at https://code.google.com/p/gimp-plugin-insanebump.

Using InsaneBump

Copy this new file to your gimp user directory. On my machine it was:
/home/derby/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins/

Start gimp, open up your graphics base file. Then select Filters
and then Map and then InsaneBump...

Make a try at the settings in the dialog box that pops up,
click Execute. The files will be written to the hard disk as follows:

the _n is the small normal map,
the _s is the specular map,
the _d is the diffusion map (just the color),
the _a is the ambient occlusion map,
the _h is the displacement (or height map),
the _hn is the high normal map,
the _ln is the large normal map,
the _mn is the medium normal map,
the _sn is the small normal map

So say your image is called Fence.png
the program will output the following files:
Fence_n.png
Fence_s.png
Fence_d.png
Fence_a.png
Fence_h.png
Fence_hn.png
Fence_ln.png
Fence_mn.png
Fence_sn.png
and overwrite existing files in the same directory
as the Fence.png file.
