| <h1 id="gdquest-art-tools-krita-plugin-for-game-developers-and-graphic-designers">GDquest Art Tools: Krita Plugin for Game Developers and Graphic Designers</h1> | ||
| <p>Free Krita plugin for designers, game artists and digital artists to work more productively:</p> | ||
| <ul> | ||
| <li>Batch export assets to multiple sizes, file types, and custom paths. Supports <code>jpg</code> and <code>png</code>.</li> | ||
| <li>Rename layers quickly with the smart rename tool</li> | ||
| </ul> | ||
| <h2 id="batch-export-layers">Batch Export Layers</h2> | ||
| <p>GDquest Art Tools exports individual layers to image files based on metadata in the layer name. The supported options are:</p> | ||
| <ul> | ||
| <li><code>[e=jpg,png]</code> - supported export image extensions</li> | ||
| <li><code>[s=20,50,100,150]</code> - size in <code>%</code></li> | ||
| <li><code>[p=path/to/custom/export/directory]</code> - custom output path. Paths can be absolute or relative to the Krita document.</li> | ||
| <li><code>[m=20,30,100]</code> - extra margin in <code>px</code>. The layer is trimmed to the smallest bounding box by default. This option adds extra padding around the layer.</li> | ||
| </ul> | ||
| <p>A typical layer name with metadata looks like: <code>CharacterTorso e=png m=30 s=50,100</code>. This exports the layer as two images, with an added padding of 30 pixels on each side: <code>CharacterTorso_s100_m030.png</code>, and <code>CharacterTorso_s050_m030.png</code>, a copy of the layer scaled down to half the original size.</p> | ||
| <p>All the metadata tags are optional. Each tag can contain one or multiple options separated by comma <code>,</code>. Write <code>e=jpg</code> to export the layer to <code>jpg</code> only and <code>e=jpg,png</code> to export the layer twice, as a <code>jpg</code> and as a <code>png</code> file. Note that the other tag, <code>p=</code> has been left out. Below we describe how the plugin works.</p> | ||
| <h2 id="getting-started">Getting Started</h2> | ||
| <p>GDquest Art Tools gives two options to batch export layers: <code>Export All Layers</code> or <code>Export Selected Layers</code>.</p> | ||
| <p><code>Export All Layers</code> only takes layers with the <code>e=extension[s]</code> tag into account. For example, if the layer name is <code>LeftArm e=png s=50,100</code>, <code>Export All Layers</code> will take it into account. If the layer name is <code>LeftArm s=50,100</code>, it will not be exported with this option.</p> | ||
| <p><code>Export Selected Layers</code> exports all selected layers regardless of the tags.</p> | ||
| <p>By default, the plugin exports the images in an <code>export</code> folder next to your Krita document. The export follows the structure of your layer stack. The group layers become directories and other layers export as files.</p> | ||
| <blockquote> | ||
| <p><strong>Supported layer types:</strong> paint, vector, group & file layers.</p> | ||
| </blockquote> | ||
| <h2 id="smart-layer-rename-tool">Smart Layer Rename tool</h2> | ||
| <p>Say we have this Krita document structure:</p> | ||
| <pre><code>GodetteGroupLayer | ||
| +-- HeadGroupLayer | ||
| +-- Hair | ||
| +-- Eyes | ||
| +-- Rest | ||
| +-- Torso | ||
| +-- LeftArm | ||
| +-- RightArm | ||
| Background</code></pre> | ||
| <p>If you want to export <code>GodetteGroupLayer</code>, <code>HeadGroupLayer</code>, <code>Torso</code>, <code>LeftArm</code>, and <code>RightArm</code>, but not the other layers, you can select these layers and write the following in the <code>Update Layer Name</code> text box: <code>e=png s=40,100</code> and press <kbd>Enter</kbd>. In this example, Art Tools will export two copies of the selected layers to png at <code>40%</code> and <code>100%</code> scale. This is what <code>s=40,100</code> does.</p> | ||
| <p>Say that we made a mistake: we want to export to <code>50%</code> instead of <code>40%</code>. Select the layers once more and write <code>s=50,100</code> in the text box. Press <kbd>Enter</kbd>. This will update the size tag and leave <code>e=png</code> untouched.</p> | ||
| <p>The tool can do more than add and update meta tags. If you want to remove <code>GroupLayer</code> from the name on <code>GodetteGroupLayer</code> and <code>HeadGroupLayer</code>, select them and write <code>GroupLayer=</code> in the text box. Press <kbd>Enter</kbd> and the <code>GroupLayer</code> text will disappear from the selected layers.</p> | ||
| <p>The <code>=</code> tells the tool to search and replace. <code>this=[that]</code> will replace <code>this</code> with <code>[that]</code>. If you don’t write anything after the equal sign, the tool will erase the text you searched for.</p> | ||
| <p>The rename tool is smarter with meta tags. Writing <code>e=</code> will remove the extension tag entirely. For example, <code>Godete e=png s=50,100</code> will become <code>Godette s=50,100</code>.</p> | ||
