Totally Normal Mapper Gives 2D Sprites a Surface to Light

Field notes

Totally Normal Mapper constructs normal maps from a sprite’s silhouette, then lets the artist add painted hints where depth cannot be inferred reliably. Its workflow includes movable-light previews, per-frame hints for animation batches, and direct PSD or Aseprite layer mapping. The page also describes a tnmap command-line utility for reusing saved settings across as many as two hundred sprites. Steam availability is presented as forthcoming, while macOS and Linux builds are listed as planned.
