SdfFontDesigner v0.0.2485

SdfFontDesigner

is a Font Bitmap Generator for games or app,.

Fully procedural, based on shader in glsl and 2d sdf

You can generate : 

• Font bitmap based on ttf or otf font files / systems,
• Write your own shaders (in glsl) for tuning and rendering like you want
• Offer many usefull uniforms widget from code, let Programmers write shaders and let artists tune these for have result they want.
• Export the font bitmap to the .fnt file format for using it in many game  engine like unity, unreal, cocos2ds, libgdx, etc..
• Import Shaders from ShaderToy and GlslSandbox (new in v0.0.2472)

No limit of creation just what i call your mindverse :)

Minimum requirement:

•   A modern gpu who have Opengl  3.3 mini
• Currenlty only available on windows, (Mac and Linux Version are planned)
• Have an external text edtior associated to extention .glsl
• Need to know Opengl Shader Language (glsl) for create  awesome shaders

This soft is in active developpement, and will receive many updates during this year.

Gettings Started :

• Choose a font in the left pane who list sytem font, or choose your font file
• Tune params, and launch generation  in right panel, the goal is to fill  the whole texture size with all chars.
• if some chars are inverted, you have option availble when you select the problematic char
• create a new shader (menu, file/new ) and edit it for modify it like you want
• you can also open a shader, a cellShading, Rainbox, and pixel shaders samples are delivered in the scripts directory
