Normalmap_generator_v3 — venv setup

This repository contains main.py (a Tkinter GUI app) and a Python virtual environment setup.

What I created

• .venv/ — virtual environment (created locally in the project)
• requirements.txt — runtime dependencies

How to activate (PowerShell)

Open PowerShell in the project folder and run:

# Allow script execution for this session (does not persist)
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope Process -Force

# Activate the venv
.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

# (optional) upgrade pip
python -m pip install --upgrade pip

# Run the app
python main.py

If you prefer CMD (no execution policy change needed), run:

.\.venv\Scripts\activate.bat
python main.py

Notes

• I installed the packages listed in requirements.txt into the .venv and ran a quick import test (customtkinter, cv2, numpy, Pillow, tkinterdnd2). The test printed IMPORTS_OK during setup.
• If you run into issues with tkinter on Windows, ensure your Python installation includes Tcl/Tk (the official Windows installer does this by default).

If you want, I can:

• Pin exact package versions to requirements.txt.
• Create a small script to launch the app with better diagnostics.
• Add a .gitignore entry for .venv if you plan to commit the repo.
