SPRITEILLUMINATOR FREE UPDATE
And if you want more in the future you don’t have to change the tools and update your build process.
It has some restrictions in packing and optimisation - but the features suffice to get you started with game development. TexturePacker offers a free mode that you can use with cocos2d-x. There’s always a free tool and if you like tinkering and have more time than money this might be the right choice… but did you know:

We support independent developers like you: 50% INDIE DISCOUNT TexturePacker can encrypt your sprite sheets to make sealing your assets much harder. It’s easy to extract sprite sheets from a game on iOS or Android. TexturePacker comes with built-in pngquant and pngopt to reduce the size of the files. If you prefer staying with png files try 8 bit pngs to reduce the download size of your game. Write optimized sheets that support hardware compression like PVRTC, DXT, ETC1/2 to get the most performance from the hardware. Reduce memory usage and download size with png-8 and hardware compression This speeds up rendering and allows better packing ratio of the sprite sheets. TexturePacker optimizes your sprites: It removes all the obsolete transparency. If your sprites have a lot of transparency this might not be the best solution because - while being transparent - the pixels still have to be processed by the graphics hardware. Sprites are rendered using rectangles by default. Other programs just let you convert greyscale images, or require you to draw each sprite shaded from 5 different angles of light.įor the last ones I drew I downloaded the normal map sphere off wikipedia and have been using the dropper to color in my normal map in with cocos2d-x project, MacOS Mojave Darkmode 1646×967 617 KBĬreating sprite sheets is easy: Just drag the folder with your sprites onto TexturePacker and press publish. Gimp lets you make normal maps from greyscale but unity already has that built in. Sprite D Lite seems to make really good normal maps automatically and lets you adjust them after. Krita is also very fleshed out but seems to require a pen and tablet, the tilt of the pen determines the normal that you paint. It lets you select a normal off a sphere and paint it onto the sprite, or bevel, heightmap, etc.
To enumerate what Ive seen: Sprite Illuminator is straightforward and good, but also 55 bucks. The methods Ive seen all have their distinct flaws so I was wondering what most people ended up doing, or if I am mistaken about any of these options. I've been going through some tutorials lately to get nicely lit pixel art in unity using normal maps, and I cant seem to find a way to do it with free or open source software.
