Default PLUGIN: NMF (ATI Normal Map) Exporter

"NMF Exporter". Download it here:
http://www.independentdeveloper.com/...l-map-exporter

This plug-in exports your AC3D model into NMF format, so that you can use ATI's NormalMapper utility to generate normal maps and ambient occlusion maps from your high-resolution model and apply them to a low-resolution mesh for use in video games. This lets your low poly models look like they are high poly.

If you don't know what normal maps are, you can read a really great tutorial here:

You can download the NormalMapper utility from ATI here:
