Hey there I'm not sure that this is the right place but It is kinda complete and work I want to share.

So Its been a long time since i last posted here but yesterday I wanted to calculate the cavity from a normalmap and since i didn't like xNormal (because it was to heavy and i don't use photoshop) and searching for cavity from normal didn't bring up anything I decided to make my own little Tool.

(Needs .Net 4.0)

this is how it looks:

and this is what it does:
