A second separate issue I had with 1.9.2 was the zoom out was not functional. I could only zoom in or reset the zoom level. This issue does not exist for me in 1.9.1.

Not sure if it is important but, in the next MacOS version, The Laigter icon will probably look out of place on the new version. I feel a new Mac specific icon should be designed for this new version.

This is what the default MacOS Big Sur Icons are going to look like.

Problem is, I only have Windows/Linux.

The idea is to replace opencv for a lighter and easier to compile in multiple platforms library. In theory, we just need a distance transform function, and common color manipulation features.

If anyone cames up with any idea, please comment!

These changes implement an experimental cli export feature wich allows for selectively generating any number of the supported types of generated maps from a given diffuse texture (and optionally a given pressets file) and exiting without loading the main window.

Unrelated to the above mentioned feature, I made a bat script to simplify deploying on windows and added one line to gitignore to ignore the deploy directory

In version 1.10 on OSX, as soon as you go into the Preview mode you can no longer change any of the settings. Updating the values does nothing. If, however, you go into the Presets panel after and simply click Apply, you're then able to again change the settings and have them applied until the next time you go into Preview.

I think it would be nice to have values besides the sliders because it helps to remember which value worked nicely. It'd also be useful to configure the light height exactly like in the engine you are using. It could also just be a switchable feature.

I went through the compile instructions and made sure all dependencies are installed. When I went to build, everything appears to build okay. However, when I go to run laigter.pro, I get this:

./laigter.pro: line 24: QT: command not found
./laigter.pro: line 26: TARGET: command not found

How on earth would I fix this? I would really like to get this working in Linux, my entire workflow is there. It would be a royal PITA if I had to boot into Windows every time I wanted to use this app.

I've never had this issue compiling C++ applications, but this is my first time using QT, so.

Some suggestions for future updates...

1. Currently you can add lights, but cannot delete them afterwards. Need the ability to delete added lights

2. Creating, Edit and Saving of project settings so we can comeback and edit what we have made. From programmers viewpoint... you would just save a text file of the path to the image and all the settings.

FYI, tried the presets, but couldn't figure out how to get it to work. After creating a preset, I click save and Apply. Nothing happened. From a programming/user standpoint... this is kind of hidden away. I think just have a New, Open and Save project file would make more sense for users.... or make the Presets more front and canter and easier to use. Some suggestions for future updates...

3. If you keep the export canvas function, a) change icon to something else beside an animation/video icon; b) The ability to edit the dimension (WxH) of the canvas.

I am trying to export the files for some images. Other maps come out fine, but the preview export outputs an unusable image.

Hi

Not sure if there is such a feature in laigter, but I would use one if available. I need this, because I want to pack all my normal maps into an atlas, and I strip all transparent pixels to fit all my sprites into one 2048x2048 page. Then I deal with the striped sprites in my app.

is it available, if not may I request an option in export to premultiply alpha onto exported normal maps?

Thank you.

I noticed the repository includes some generated files such as compile_commands.json and *.qm. We should look at removing them from the repository, and generate them at build-time instead.

Good morning!

Firstly, thank you for such an amazing tool!

I was trying to use the CLI mode to generate a bunch of Normal maps. In the GUI, I can toggle the Alpha checkbox and generate them fine, but in the CLI, I can't seem to find a setting that will work. My limited knowledge of C++ has struggled to find a way to load a preset with that setting.

Am I doing something stupid? Any suggestions you have would be highly appreciated

Hi,

First, thanks for this nice software!

I have some redraw bugs: when I click any widget on the GUI, it does nothing, I have to click elsewhere (for example inside the view) to force a redraw.

There is another issue quite annoying when I'm on my laptop, which has a small 1366x768 screen, the application window does not fit in (too tall), and it cannot be reduced. It could be nice to remove that limitation, and add a scrollbar when the height is reduced.

I also have widget with drawing bug (sliders), but it seems to be fixed if I switch to the "dark blue" theme.

Hi, I was wanting to suggest custom themes now that the theme selector is implemented. I have a few suggestions.

1. Allow user to have custom window colors and custom icon themes.

2. The dialog that appears after selecting the theme manager icon, That dialog is titled Form. I think should be labeled something like Theme Manager

3. I made a quick sketch of my ideas.

See the attached zip file, it contains a video recording of the issue (sorry, i have no microphone)

Details:

1. Launching the app displays the window but with no content, you must first "click" inside or "move to another container (i3wm)" for the contents to finally show.
2. In order to see the changes when selecting widget, there must be first a "click" (not necessarily in the main window).
3. Sliders are working (you can see the real-time effect as the value gets updated)
4. Selecting on a tab like "Export" and "Texture", you must first make the "trigger click" for the widgets to get updated.

This is an awesome tool and I will keep using it in my current prop workflow. Therefore I would like to ask for a few minor enhancements to probably speed up the general process.

• Every Slider should have a numeric input field besides it. I believe I saw something like that in the beta with a number inside the slider? But it seemed to be the main reason for crashes. Normal input field would be better anyways. (Unreal Engine does it right)

• Presets don't make any sense right now, Preset controls should be a palette in main window not a dialog

• Preset save files should be seperate for every tab on the left in main window (Normal, Spec, ...) for maximum flexibility

• "Tile" tab could go up with the other tabs so there is space for the Preset controls

• Presets for export on the right should have a similar logic like the on the left

• batch export (creates filenames with postfixes automatically) is pretty solid, exporting single passes however (only the normal map for instance) gets frustrating because of that

• two Export buttons on top, one for current view mode (creates no postfix, can overwrite) and one for batch export

• Export to... doesn't work for me, get message "OK", no files in folder (all boxes checked, except Preview) > should be removed anyways for a new batch export dialog
