Normal Maps
Normal maps for 2D lighting
Normal Maps makes normal, height, specular and occlusion maps for 2D sprites, sprite sheets and tiles, so 2D lights in Godot and Unity light them with depth.
It is made for pixel art: every pixel snaps to clean light directions, so the light falls in crisp bands instead of a blurry gradient, and a light that follows your mouse shows the result as you tune it.
