By Laigter
Create normal, specular, parallax, and ambient occlusion maps from 2D sprites for a lighting system. Use case: Add moving lights to sprites and create depth in a 2D scene without drawing the entire normal map.
Use Case Add moving light to sprites and create depth in 2D scenes without drawing normal maps entirely by hand.
Evidence The itch.io page reports actual usage and issues with developer responses; source code is public but production game status is unconfirmed.
Limitations The itch.io binary is currently paid despite open source; reports indicate normal maps disappear after opening a project, and the developer replied that a fix had been released, requiring save/reopen testing before actual use.
Evidence Level: Products or documents are verifiable; usage evidence has limitations — not a quality score or user review.
