Hi azagaya.

This is a really great program, and it's allowed my friends to quickly create some really nice normal maps for a project we are doing together. However, we have a question. 


When we import the actual normal map into Godot, the normal map itself works. However, we can't seem to get the lighting to work the way your test light in Liaghter works, specifically the Toon and Pixel filters. Could you explain to me what you used and how you made those filters possible? Specifically, did you have to use shaders, or a set of layered circles etc... ?

They look great and we'd really like to try and put that kind of light into the project. For reference, we are using Godot (if that matters, but I don't think it does).

Hi! The Pixelated and Toon options in Laigter are only for visualization.. that information cannot be exported with the map.

To replicate them in godot, for the pixel filter, you just need to import the textures with filter option unchecked.

For the Toon lighting, in godot 2D you need to write your own shader. I made a simple shader for my game with a simple toon efect. if you are interested, reach me at discord and i will share it to you. This is the discord link: https://discord.gg/88kJqry

It matters which engine are you using, because each engine has different features out of the box. With godot you have normal map, but no specular or others in 2D, for which you should implement shaders.

Also, for using with godot, remember to invert the y axis of the normal maps!

Wow, huge thanks for the quick and informative reply! I will send you a message on discord asap.

Hi. I'm  having some issues exporting maps. I keep receiving an error message saying check permissions of the destination and I don't  know how to fix this

Where are You trying to save the exported images? You are using Windows versión, right?
