Ok I installed 2.8 and the normal map plugin with the synaptic manager. It works, and that is good, but my default.gimp2.8 plugins folder is empty. Does anyone know where the synaptic installer puts the normal map plugin?
Bump Map: Take your texture into gimp/photoshop. Choose levels and make the crevices black and the pieces that are high up white. Just mess with it until you get something that you think will work. Black means deeper crevices and white means higher up, grey means slightly down but not fully.Spec map. Same concept except white mean reflectivity, and black means no reflectivity.
You don't want much grey in this you want as close as you can get to black and white for the surfaces. Cracks should be black and surfaces white since cracks dont reflect well and surfaces will.
The page has a Download gimp-normalmap section. Since you are likely running a 64-bit Linux you click on the 'amd64'(.) link in the 'architecture' column.That page in turn tells you how to install an additional repository (recommended option). If you do so, sudo apt update (to refresh repository info) followed by sudo apt install gimp-normalmap will install the plugin (with the right architecture for your installed system).If you want to be more 'manual', click any of the mirrors to download the.deb file from it. Then right-clicking the.deb in any GUI file manager will likely have an option to install it.Side note: Gimp 2.10 is a major overhaul (IMHO it should have been named 3.0).
On the whole, it is much better/powerful than 2.8 but still has plenty of little quirks, that will eventually be ironed out. Compatibility of some plugins isn't guaranteed. 2.9 was a development version, and as such has more debug features, isn't performance enhanced, still misses some functionality, and will complain about the use of any deprecated stuff.
No point using 2.9 if you are on 18.04.(.) 'amd64' is just the name of the architecture for 64-bit Intel/AMD processors because AMD invented it first. It runs on processor from both manufacturers.
