Free · local · no signup

Person responsibleTarget date

Add the specific files, requirements and reviewer notes for each stage. The brief records your plan; it does not generate, send or approve images.

1. **Keep the original color photograph**Required files and handoff notes
2. **State that brightness is interpreted as height**Required files and handoff notes
3. **Record normal strength and green-channel orientation**Required files and handoff notes

## A worked example

Hypothetical material: a flat-lit plaster image generates a normal-map experiment. The brief notes that dark stains are not measured depressions.

## What this can and cannot decide

Brightness-derived maps are approximations, not scanned geometry.

Keep source files separately. Your entries stay in this browser page and are included only in the file you choose to download. Reloading the page clears this worksheet.
