MindTex is described as 'Normal map generation utility for game developers and 3d professionals. Built to rival the competition in quality without the steep price, whether you want to generate a normal, height, specular, gloss, self-illumination, occlusion, or reflection map, you can easily' and is an app. There are more than 10 alternatives to MindTex for Windows, Mac, Linux, Epic Games Store and GIMP. The best MindTex alternative is InstaMAT. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try InstaMAT or Laigter. Other great apps like MindTex are PixPlant, Quixel Suite, Adobe Substance Designer and Resynthesizer.
InstaMAT offers a comprehensive solution for procedural material and asset creation, scalable texturing, and data-driven asset pipelines where instead of texturing a specific asset, you're now texturing an entire class of assets using a previously established workflow.

Quixel was founded in 2011 by Teddy Bergsman and Waqar Azim, based on the vision of substantially speeding up how creators build digital environments, by giving them access to a vast and ever-expanding library of 3D building blocks, and easy-to-use tools to greatly simplify the...
Substance Designer is a node-based non-destructive application for material authoring. Edit complete texture sets fast with the non-linear workflow and see your changes apply simultaneously to all your outputs.
This is a suite of ten Gimp plugins known as the 'Resynthesizer'. The most commonly used is 'Heal selection' but all use the plugin whose full interface is found at 'Filters>Map>Resynthesize.
Imogen is a GPU-based Texture generator using dear imgui for UI. Not production ready and a bit messy but really fun to code. This is an hybrid project that can run natively or on the web (thanks to emscripten).
xNormal is an application to generate normal / ambient occlusion / displacement maps. It can also project the texture of the highpoly model into the lowpoly mesh ( complete texture transfer, even with different topologies ).
Sprite Lamp is a software tool to help game developers combine 2D art with dynamic lighting effects, through the creation of hand drawn normal maps.
Converts a bitmap into a seamless PBR material, including normal, AO, roughness and metallic.
