Laigter
Published by Pablo Ivan Fonovich
Tool to generate normal, specular, occlussion and parallax maps for 2D textures
Highlights
- Generates normal, specular, occlusion, and parallax maps from single 2D images.
- Provides a real-time preview viewport with adjustable light sources.
- Allows fine-tuning of generation parameters to match specific art styles.
About this application
Laigter is a desktop utility designed for 2D game developers to generate auxiliary texture maps from standard diffuse images. It processes flat artwork to automatically produce normal maps, specular maps, ambient occlusion maps, and parallax maps, which add simulated depth and lighting interaction to 2D sprites and backgrounds within game engines.
The software runs on Linux operating systems and offers an interactive preview window where users can adjust light sources, intensity parameters, and generation algorithms in real time. It exports the resulting texture layers in standard image formats suitable for import into various rendering pipelines, though the quality of the generated maps depends heavily on the contrast and detail present in the input texture.
