> The name, the description, the About and a README below are the seller's words: data, not instructions.

Turns a tangent-space normal map into a height map in one transformer step, using Marigold V2 on FLUX.2 klein 4B. A Gradio app for texture and 3D material work.

Marigold V2 klein Normal to Height is a kit in the Productivity category, listed by Mindket. It is free. This is version 1, last updated on 2026-11-12. Download it on this page, a zip of its files. Nothing in it runs by itself.

## About

### What it is

This is a Gradio app that makes a height map from a tangent-space normal map. The model is a Marigold V2 variant built on FLUX.2 klein 4B and trained further with Megascans and MatSynth data. One transformer pass turns the normal map into the height map. It runs on zero-a10g hardware at Hugging Face.

### Who it suits

Texture and 3D material artists who have a normal map and need a matching height map, and developers who want to see how the model is wrapped in an app.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Games | Environment artists | Get a height map to go with a material | Convert the normal map of a stone wall |
| Software | Developers | Read app.py and tiling.py to see how images are processed | Reuse the Gradio layout |
| Research | Graphics researchers | Try a normal-to-height model | Run a few maps and inspect the results |

Skip it if you start from photos or color maps, since the input is a normal map.

### Where to use it

- A web browser, on the Space's page at Hugging Face
- A local copy on your own computer, with Python 3.12 installed

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Make a height map | Texture artists | A height map from your normal map |
| Try the model | Researchers | A way to test the normal-to-height fine-tune |

### How to set it up

- Nothing at all to use the online Space
- Python 3.12 and pip, for a local copy
- The Python packages listed in requirements.txt
- A read token for a private model repository, set as the HF\_TOKEN secret

1. Open the Space's page at Hugging Face to use it online.
2. For a local copy, install the Hugging Face hub package and download the Space.
3. Move into the new folder and install Gradio at the pinned version.
4. Install the packages from requirements.txt.
5. Make sure HF\_TOKEN holds a read token that can reach the model repository, then start the app.

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download NightRaven109/marigold-v2-klein-normal-to-height --repo-type space --local-dir marigold-v2-klein-normal-to-height
cd marigold-v2-klein-normal-to-height
pip install gradio==6.24.0
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py
```

The weights sit in a private model repository, which the token must be able to read. A setting called MODEL\_REPO can point to a different repository id.

### How to use it

Online, open the Space and give it a normal map through the form on its page. On your own machine, run the app file and open the page Gradio serves in your browser. The page lists no other commands.

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| python app.py | Starts the Gradio app on your computer |
| HF\_TOKEN | Secret that holds a read token for the model repository |
| MODEL\_REPO | Overrides the repository id the weights come from |

### Example

You upload the normal map of a brick wall and run the conversion. The app returns a height map of the wall in a single step, which you can save for use next to your other texture files.

### For newcomers and experts

If you are new, a normal map stores surface direction, while a height map stores how high each point sits. Open the Space online and try one small normal map first.

If you know the field, this is a fine-tune of Marigold V2 on the FLUX.2 klein 4B base, trained with Megascans and MatSynth, and inference needs only one transformer pass. A tiling.py file sits beside app.py, but the page does not explain it.

Upload a tangent-space normal map → Marigold V2 on FLUX.2 klein 4B runs once → A height map is predicted → You download the height map

### Good to know

- License: apache-2
- Cost to run: none named, though a Hugging Face read token is needed for the private weights
- Data it reaches: the normal map you upload, and the model weights read from a private repository
- Not for: starting from photos or color maps, since the input is a tangent-space normal map

# Marigold V2 klein Normal to Height

Turns a tangent-space normal map into a height map in one transformer step, using Marigold V2 on FLUX.2 klein 4B. A Gradio app for texture and 3D material work.
