Standalone Bounding Box Software tool that builds a PBR set from a photo: height, metallic, smoothness, normal, occlusion, plus seamless tiling. Used on the Uncharted Collection remaster for metallic/smoothness/AO. The application is GNU GPL v3. The pages fetched on 2026-08-24 do not spell out ownership of maps you generate. Treat output like other GPL editors: the program is copyleft, the bitmaps you export from your own photos are not automatically GPL, and photos you did not take keep their own licenses.
