Instead of drawing the various lighting forms, you can just slap the sprite into a tool called Laigter, which does that for you, and generates the normal map too.

That's true but sprite lamp is better for simple stuff like this. I tried to recreate that little desk normal map with laigter and the result was worse. I think manually doing shades and using sprite lamp is cool for some objects

@@gamemakertim Oh another thing - I think your trees look a bit off because they are lit like a round object. The faces are nicely shaped but they are too "flat". It looks a bit like it is an artificial tree. In order to achieve a leafish look I think you need to put some different directions in spots where the part of the tree is actually facing another way. To break up the mono(chrome?) surfaces. Because leaves on a trees' left side don't all face the left. They go in all sorts of directions. I'm not sure if that will help in your case, since you probably don't wanna get your details to be too small but that's the one reason I can think of. I hope you understand what I mean, if not - let me know and I'll make a sketch and send you somehow

Love this, still learning how to do Pixel art and shading is kind of out of this world at the moment haha, this will help a lot.

Also, you saved my skin dude. I was dreading drawing like 63 sprites over way too many hours just to have baked lighting. Any application that does all the lighting instead of having to do the 4 directions? I just need to light different types of slimes like the ones in terreria.

I subscribed to this channel like it was mind control.

So by hand? Sounds interesting, I might give it a try, since diagonal lighting doesn't always react right with the method I use in the video. It might also be interesting to have a tool where you can select a surface and set the direction of the normal, so you can create a normal map that way. If it doesn't exist yet I could try to create it in spare time. And thanks for the feedback :) I have to try out new stuff with my videos every once in a while and see what it does.

Hi! I'd love to know if you have an idea on how to apply normal maps to animated sprites like a character, since in that case, a simple material with a normal map won't work.

you're a quick and helpful tutorial maker but sometimes i cant tell the difference between your voice and a speech synthesizer.

Funniest fucker on this website. Great tutorial!

waste a bunch of time looking at what you just made... ... ... subscribed! :D awsm

But wouldnt you neet an own material vor every single sprite in your game when setting this up? I think I saw another tutorial where normal maps were added as secondary textures to the spritesheet. I think this approach would be much easier to set up and maintain in a large game with lots of different sprites and objects...

Well the normal map is called normal, because it tells the shader how to react to light based on the angle to the surfaces normals. But anyway, liked the short video since the solution looks very slim and fast and the tree pun at the end was really funny. Just the demanding voice for subscribing and liking etc. feels really off. Cheers!

If i want to add with this method normal maps to animated characters do i need one sprite and its normal map for every direction or there is a way to do so? Awesome vid btw

Hi, thanks :) If you make a sprite sheet, and then a normal map for that sprite sheet. The animation system in unity will automatically map the right part of the normal map to the sprite. Flipping sprites won't work though. I have been looking for a simple way to fix it, but for now the only way I know to flip sprites is by making all directions in a sprite sheet. And make normal maps for the different directions.

Y'all need to learn how normal maps work and just draw those if you're going to go this route. It's directional color placement, that's all.
