- Click “Choose Image…” and select any image (a plain grey height-map works best).

- Six little panels appear: Original, Normal, Shininess, Displacement, AO, Shadow.
- A live 3-D model shows the effect in real time.
- Tweak each map
- Every panel has sliders or check-boxes: move them and the picture + 3-D view update instantly.
- Example:
Normal → “Strength”, “Smoothing”, “Invert Y”.
Shininess → “Level”, “Contrast”, “Invert Source”.
(Hover the sliders if you forget what they do — tool-tips appear.)
