I've written a tutorial on how to take photographs of a static object and convert them to normal maps and albedo/diffuse maps with ShaderMap 3.

The basics of the tutorial are:

Setup your camera to take static photos of the object.
Photograph the object four times each lighted from a different direction.
Bring the photos into ShaderMap 3 using the Normal from Photos template.
View the results in real-time and make changes to intensity.
