MASSIVE V2.0 UPDATE IS LIVE! Added full PSD/PSB import/export, Sprite Sheet generation, Normal/AO Map creation, Tileable Painting Mode, advanced Shape Tools, and massive stability improvements!
Why leave Unity to edit a texture?Layer Forge Studio is your ultimate in-engine image editing solution. Designed specifically for game developers, it brings a familiar, Photoshop-style layer-based workflow directly into the Unity Editor. Whether you need to tweak a UI element, generate a normal map, create a seamless tileable texture, or import complex PSD files with blend modes and masks—you can now do it all without ever breaking your focus.
Save time, maintain your creative flow, and eliminate the frustrating export/import loop!
♦ CORE FEATURES
- Full PSD & PSB Support: Import Photoshop files with all layers, folders, masks, blend modes, and clipping masks intact. Photoshop layer styles are automatically converted into Layer Forge effects!
- Sprite Sheet Generator: Pack your layers or folders into a single atlas image. It automatically slices the sprites for you in Unity! (Or export each layer as a separate PNG).
- Game Art Map Generator: Instantly generate Normal, Height, and Ambient Occlusion (AO) maps from any image. Unity automatically sets the texture type to "Normal Map" upon saving.
- Seamless Tileable Mode: Create perfect repeating textures! Features a wrapping Offset filter, 3x3 repeat preview, and wrap-around brushes, erasers, and clone stamps.
- Advanced Shape Tools: 15 ready-to-use shapes (Star, Heart, Arrows, Shield, Gear, and more) plus customizable beveled rectangles (Round or Chamfer).
♦ POWERFUL WORKFLOW & TRANSFORM
- Multi-Layer Transform: Select multiple layers and move, scale, or rotate them together with a unified bounding box and 6-way alignment options.
- Photoshop-Style Auto-Select: Click directly on the canvas to select layers or entire groups.
- Smart Alignment Guides: Purple dynamic guides snap perfectly to the visual bounds and rotation of your content.
- Familiar Hotkeys: Use Ctrl+T for quick multi-layer transforms (Enter to apply, Esc to cancel).
♦ EXPORT & FORMAT SUPPORT
- Rich Export Options: Export your work as PNG, JPEG, TGA (32-bit with alpha), EXR (16-bit linear color), or even as a layered PSD!
- Safe Saving System: Project saving is now completely fail-safe. Data is written to temporary files first, ensuring zero data loss or corruption.
♦ ROCK-SOLID STABILITY
- Adjustable Undo memory limits (Default: 1024 MB).
- Flawless Unity 6.0 / 6.1 compatibility.
- Completely rewritten Merge/Flatten logic preventing alpha edge artifacts and memory leaks.
- Comprehensive Undo/Redo tracking including layer visibility, locks, opacity, blend modes, and effects.
