You can also generate normals from the NukeX DepthGenerator - might be
worth a try!

Crazy bump mac version has a free beta, also there are free tools
on windows (xnormal) and linux (gimp) etc.... You can extract a
normal map & height map from your image in one of those utilities.
Sometimes it works great, sometimes it doesn't works badly
depending the image. You can then bring it into Nuke, use the
displacement shader to make it 3d and then use that to relight.
Also you could use the depthToPoints and then use that with the
relight node.
Also looking at nukepedia there are some nuke gizmos which are
similar to crazybump/xnormal:

Was talking to someone about a shot last night and I have a
shot where a face needs to look like its appearing through a
layer of goo. There was mention of using a "fake normals" of
the 2d image to help light certain areas of the goo, but all i
can think of is using some sort of luma key to light it.
what is xNormal?
Thanks for the reply Deke.

Is it possible to create a fake normals map from a 2d
plate? Such as a shot of a mans face?
