      AwesomeBump vs xNormal
      pros, cons and recent comments
      xNormal is a program to bake normal maps from high to low resolution meshes, and AwesomeBump doesn't perform that main function at all.

      Quixel Suite vs xNormal
      pros, cons and recent comments
      Quixel suite was made to texture 3D objects, while XNormal was made to bake High Poly models into lowpoly textures. While Quixel has recently added certain baking it doesn't do it for highpoly to lowpoly and as such the major use of the two programs are far from similar.

        Its just image to material, you cant use a model to bake normals, models are only used just to see the material you created on that model. You cant bake.
