Open beta!


Hello everyone! I am very proud to announce the open beta of Raise and Shine, a height map visual editor with automatic normal map generation for 2D textures!

It has been exciting 5 weeks of development and I hope I’ll be able to invest many more to make it even more awesome!

Right now, with Raise and Shine, we are able to:

  • Create selections using the Rectangle, Ellipse, Line and Freehand tools
  • Create complex selections by combining them with left mouse button and removing them with right mouse button
  • Use the Height tool to drag the selected area up or down, all with real time visualization in 3D
  • Create curved height patterns using the Bézier curve editor and applying them with the Height tool
  • Create and edit lights’ color, energy and position to preview the illuminated texture in 2D and 3D in real time
  • Undo and Redo selections and height changes as well as choosing one of the previous revisions in the History tab
  • Load and save the albedo, height and generated normal maps as images
  • Save the illuminated texture preview as image
  • Edit height maps and generate normal maps on the web browser and on desktop platforms running Windows, Linux or Mac OS

For the next releases, we can expect:

  • Height painting tools similar to terrain and other bump map editors
  • More selection tools, like Lasso and Polygon tools
  • Orbiting light mode for previewing lighting from all angles at a fixed speed
  • Better performance on big resolution textures
  • Customizable and dockable layout of the open tabs, by dragging them around
  • Localization to Portuguese

I’ll be posting devlogs regularly with the latest updates on features, technical problems and solutions, some tutorials and more! I’m learning a lot from this project and am eager to share this knowledge =D

If you like or use this tool, consider buying the desktop version to support its development =]

Also, feel free to post ideas and suggestions, bug reports and share your creations at the discussion board!

See you all soon for more updates!
