Seems pretty tedious, but it's an interesting technique.

Nice link - thanks. Quite a novel idea that.

Heh, I found that site while searching for a free normal map tool. It seems like you need photoshop to do anything with textures....

Photoshop is definitely the best texture tool out there. There are others though that aren't so expensive. You could probably actually get a pretty good deal on used older copies of Photoshop. I'm still using 5.0 and most plugins (including the normal map plugins) work fine with it.
