Expensive compared to similar software
While the software is great at what it does, it comes at a higher cost than most software that does similar things when it comes to generating normal maps.

Free version is technically non-commercial only
But, uh, "exporting" is as easy as opening up the file locations.

Not a complete tool
B2M will only allow you to create a normal map from an existing image. You cannot create a custom texture from scratch with it.

Con
Confusing
The first few times using the software, you may have a hard time getting what you want. That is mostly due to the slew of features, and slightly confusing interface.

Pro
Free and open-source
Being open source, along with the price of nothing makes this software very compelling to use.

Cross platform
This software is cross platform, so you can integrate it into your work flow without worrying to much about your operating system (Linux, Mac, and Windows).

Con
Requires open GL 3.30 or higher
Although the pbr view port looks great, it does come with the drawback that you will have to have support for open GL 3.30 or higher, and set it up before hand (if its not already set up on your computer).

No image scalling
This may not seem like much, but if your screen resolution is smaller than your picture, then you will only see a small part of the picture. And although you can move around the picture, it is impossible to zoom in and out.

Con
Slugish single core CPU performance
No multi core, and only single core cpu usage, means that the software does not perform tasks at smooth speeds when textures get anywhere over 512x512 (depending on the cpu in use).

Buy Upfront No Trial
As soon as I downloaded this for the first time and opened the file (which by the way was the free trial version) it said my trial was expired. So expect to pay upfront when downloading this app.

Generates more then just a normal map
While this tool can generate normal maps, you can also create maps such as Height, Ambient Occlusion, Specular, and more. You can also input your own maps instead for preview.
