Create your Game/GUI from Photoshop to Unity (N-GUI) (Sprites, Buttons, Dynamic Text)

Hello everyone! My name is Bruno Mikoski, I'm the lead developer at Monster Juice! We make one plugin to export our gui from PSD directly to N-GUI in Unity3D! And we want some beta tests to make this tool even more useful to anyone!



Check the video of the Alpha Version and HOW TO:

Last version: (Alpha)
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bx3gW3IbiR_sdVlBRDlkTHJBaUE
Contents:
- The Template PSD for try and understand the prefixes
- The Javascript to Photoshop
- The Monster Importer to Unity3D

*You need the NGUI to use this Tool, avaliable here:
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/114833-NGUI-(Next-Gen-UI)-demo-amp-final-feedback-request


* Features
- Create your gui entirely in PSD and get the exact same result in Unity3D
- Don't waste more time adjusting positions!
- Create objects objects with empty game objects for anchors
- Up to 10x faster than create gui by hand
- Update the positions by changing the PSD
- Automatically create Widgets based on the prefix on PSD (like "btn" for the ImageButtons);

post here if you want a beta version!

 

wow, that's a pretty interesting tool. great work.

 

I'd be very interested in beta testing this if it works on Windows!

 

Thanks!

Yeah works!

You can try it, download this package:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bx3gW3IbiR_sdVlBRDlkTHJBaUE

 

Looks great. Will leave feedback as soon as I put it through the test
Thanks a lot

 

It looks great, i will test it

 

Yep,

me too.

 

Great Guys! I need some feedback and some ideas if this workflow works to everyone!

 

Downloaded the Alpha version.
I'll try it tomorrow with cs5 + unity 3.5

 

Will this work with Photoshop Essentials or Gimp?

 

I'm not quite sure about that, but after we finish the work with the Photoshop, is just a little more of work to make this work with another programs.

 

Seems like this might have great potential.... will give it a shot too... will give feedback if I do happen to get to it. TY very much.

 

Thanks and very nice work.

 

Would love to beta test this - it looks like it will make my UI frustrations evaporate away

 

I also wonder if I could use this for doing a fighting game HUD... such as lifebars... this should make my life easily.

 

Brilliant idea, will give it a go.
Thanks.

 

The alpha is already available for a try!

We are add everything the NGUI can do, so such a thing definitely gonna be available.

Thanks

Please we need some feedback if work, and if everthing is clear to everyone!

 

I'd like to give it a go. Will be testing on iOS pro and OSX. Thanks!

 

Is already avaliable at the main post =)

 

For those with Photoshop Elements, this is not compatible because it relies on layer groups. Unfortunately Photoshop Elements does not support layer groups.

Even though I can't use it right at the moment, thanks for your work anyway. It looks great. Maybe sometime in the future it will be tweaked to support other software.

 

Hook me up, this looks great!

Edit: Hooked myself up. Thanks for making the alpha publicly available.

 

This is fantastic! I just tried it.. and it worked! Will try to do some tests with 'production' work and see where it leads - seriously, this is a great tool thanks for sharing

 

This looks very nice! Thank you for sharing!

 

Sounds awesome -- can't wait to give it a try

 

This is perfect. Exactly what I was needing! I would love a Beta and could put it to good use immediately.

 

Amazing, might be a killer tool to use in my next project!

 

Would love to test this!

I'd be trying it out on Unity Pro and iOS pro

 

Thanks for this, such a great idea!

 

Downloaded! This should make designing a game HUD way easier
What kind of price will the final release have?

 

Hey guys! The Beta is available on the MAIN POST! Just Grab it!
We currently full work on improve the main flow, by now the fonts are created dynamically too!

Almost all widgets are working, we just need more feedback if this tool work to everyone!

The price gonna be really low, like $10, we just need to charge a little, so we can keep working and make this tool even better.

 

Will try it on Unity 3.5.6 Pro / iOS Pro / CS5

 

Great .Bookmarked. .

 

Great! How this works for you?

 

This is awesome, this will make my life so much easier, as I already have all the UI layout and design in Photoshop. Cool timing

 

Great!
Tell me how this work for you
