I have been using insanebump, but mine doesn't look like that. Have they updated it in he past few months?

Also, there is a standalone version of insanebump that does presents the maps in realtime.

There is two versions, nether update in real-time, 1. Python Script Based http://registry.gimp.org/files/InsaneBump.py_3.txt
and 2. C Program Based https://code.google.com/p/gimp-plugin-insanebump/

The one above is the C based one.

Also, there is a standalone version of insanebump that does presents the maps in realtime.

What is that map in the upper right-hand corner? (The green and red one?) I don't usually do texturing and i'm trying to learn. Also, i can't find the Insanebump download page. Do i have to compile the source myself or is there an .exe i'm not seeing?

I think that map is a different type of normal map or a normal/spec combo. Not sure but its not typical ever used. We normaly use what you see in the first screenshot, Note: Insanebump produces more map types than what is shown.

You can see the windows version here.

I will do a tutorial on texture mapping soon.

Here are the Insanebump results.
