Simple Normal Mapper

Simple Normal Mapper is a graphical editor with which one can generate normal maps for 2D images.

Normal maps are used, for example, in 2D games to make an illusion of a 3D object.

Building the project

Currently the build depends on Qt 5 and CMake only. Support for Qt 6 is preliminary and can be explicitly enabled.

Use the official Qt SDK or install the needed development tools from a package repository.

Building for Linux in a nutshell:

$ mkdir build && cd build

$ cmake ..

$ cmake --build . -j4

Qt 6 can be explicitly enabled by:

$ cmake -DBUILD_WITH_QT6=ON ..

Create a Debian package for Debian-based Linux distributions (in build dir):

$ cpack -G DEB
