A tool to generate normal maps from any sprite and animated sprite sheet.

About the project

A Rust tool that generates normal maps from pixel art sprites, sprite sheets, and animations, available as a CLI and a WebAssembly library. It enables dynamic lighting on 2D sprites for 2.5D games.

Useful for
  • Generate a normal map for a single PNG sprite via the CLI
  • Batch-process a folder of sprites into a separate output directory
  • Produce a normal-map atlas and frame metadata from a GIF animation

4.7 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 20, 2026, 11:53 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

050100October 19, 2026October 20, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-20 (UTC), 10:12–11:40: 107 → 111 stars (+4). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +31 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 1 day old and already has 111 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #192.
  • About 7 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
