EffectTextureMaker

EffectTextureMaker is generating texture tool on the web browser. This tool can make a lot of vfx textures and you can also make animated sprites sheet.

Features

• A lot of type of template for vfx texture.
• Make a normal map.
• Make a animated sprites sheet.
• You can save as image format supported by the web browser.
• Support image maximum of 2048 sizes.
• Support color balance adjustment.

End-User License

The texture generated with EffectTextureMaker can be freely used for commercial and non-commercial products. The texture is licensed under the CC0.

How To Use

1. Set the resolution. (resolution)
2. Choose the effect template. (type)
3. Adjust parameters as you like. (Parameters)
4. Click the Save button to open the rendered image and save it.

time

It can be used for animated effects.

animate

Animates an effect. It is available for some effects.

polarConversion

Transforms the effect into polar coordinates.

Toon

Enable toon shading. Three gradations: dark, light, and other.

Parameter	Summary
enable	Enable toon shading.
dark	Rate of dark part.
light	Rate of light part.

Tiling

To seamless the effect. (Not good)

Parameter	Summary
enable	Enable tiling.
radial mask	Adjust boundary intersections.

NormalMap

Convert to a normal map.

Parameter	Summary
generate	Enable conversion.
cHeightScale	Scale of height.

ColorBalance

Apply color bbalance to the effect.

Parameter	Summary
Shadows	Dark part.
Midtones	Middle part.
Highlights	Light part.
resetColorBalance	Reset ColorBalance parameters.

SpriteSheet

Generates animated effects on a single image (SpriteSheet).

Parameter	Summary
dimension	The number of image divisions.
time	Animation start time.
timeLength	Length of animation.
timeStep	Step time.

For example, assume the parameters as follows:

• resolution : 512
• dimesion : 8
• time : 0
• timeLength : 3
• timeStep : 0.1

It will render at most 16 sprites in 512x512 image. That is, the size of one sprite is 64x64 (512/8), up to 64 sprites. The sprite rendering starts at 0, and one sprite is drawn every 0.1 seconds, for 3 seconds. When the maximum number of sprites is reached, the rendering is finished.

Image with alpha (PNG)

Save in PNG image with alpha channel. This is an experimental feature. It cannot be used to save SpriteSheet.

Parameter	Summary
threshold	Threshold to truncate to 0.0 (black)
tolerance	Tolerance to be rounded up 1.0 (white)
blur	Strength of the blur.
visible	Show the alpha channel.
Save (PNG)	Save generated image.
Download (PNG)	Download generated image.

There are two methods: Save and Download, but you can use either.

Save/Load

You can save and load the data in JSON format. Press the save and load buttons on the top of controller, respectively.

CoherentNoise

CoherentNoise

• NoiseFrequency should be divisible by Repeat.
• Maximzing Gain can allow to binarize a noise value. It can also be adjusted with the Bias.
• VoronoiCell has effect when VoronoiNoise is enabled.
• RidgeOffset has effect when Ridge is enabled.
• ScaleShift maps noise values from [-1,1] to [0,1].
• GradientNoise is Perlin Noise．
• Bias is used to shift noise mean value.
• Gain is used to "sharpen" noise.

Tips

This parameters can be used to create the following image.

• type: GradientLine
• Direction X: 0
• Direction Y: 1
• Offset: 0
• PowerExponent: 5
• polarConversion: 有効
