Great job and everyting, but why would anyone use it when there is actually Photoshop out there?

 

Hello there,
it is a great question, with this tool the main idea was to create a tool that would help users save time by not having to always switch to an external application when needing to make a change to an image. This is a frequent process and having tools on hand can be very beneficial and can ultimately increase the overall workflow.

No matter what product the user is making, in most cases, especially when developing a game, image editing is a non-stop process. From minor tweaks to creating new images for UI or when dealing with 2D graphics, developers spend lots of time in image editing applications. Having everything in place is a preferred choice overall.

That being said, apart from having a tool that users can use in the editor, I am also planning in the future to make such features available for runtime purposes.

 

wow, runtime feature would be really cool!
good luck then! Hope you'll succeed!<3

 

Hello everyone,
After lots of work, I have finally published Pixel Harmony to the Unity AssetStore!

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/painting/pixel-harmony-202614

For more information, you can visit the official website: https://pixel-harmony.com/

 

Does it have Windows-only features or would it work under Linux too?

 

Hello there, Pixel Harmony has not been thoroughly tested on other operating systems. It should work on Mac, but I am not sure about Linux. I see no reason why it shouldn't, but I can't say for sure, unfortunately.

 

Great!

 

Hey I purchased this asset for use in my Unity 2021LTS project on mac. First error I got said it doesn't support 8K textures. Then I resized the texture into a 4k PNG and the tool crashed. I purchased this for the sole purpose of creating normal maps. What file formats are supported?

Hello there, I apologize for the inconvenience you've encountered.

May I ask, which specific Unity version did you use? Pixel Harmony requires a minimum Unity version of 2021.2+. Any older version will not work.

Also, the plugin currently supports a max canvas size of 4096 by 4096. In the future, this limit will be lifted. Moreover, as of now, Pixel Harmony supports png, jpg, jpeg, and TGA formats only.

 

I'm on 2021.3.27f1 Silicon LTS
