Texture Lab

Quickly edit your images!


Plugin

:warning: I have been informed that store plugins cannot use the save asset API, you will have to save a local copy to your plugins folder. :warning:

How to do that?

:warning: I do not suggest doing that with every plugin using the CreateAssetAsync API. Before using this workaround check out the source code of the plugin or at least the part calling the function to make sure nothing harmful is uploaded :warning:

1. First go on Roblox Studio then in the plugin tab and press this button :

image

2. Go back one directory so you’re in the Roblox folder

image

3. Go in the folder with your User Id on it (recognizable as the only folder with a bunch of numbers as name)

image

4. Inside there should be a InstalledPlugins folder, go inside and look for the folder with name 129082061688552

image

5. Inside should be another folder with a bunch of numbers, then inside again there should be a Plugin.rbxm file

image

6. Move it to the folder you opened on the first step and you should be able to use the save feature!

      Alpha bleeding is a method to get rid of the white / colored outline on transparent background images

      Previewing

      If the selected object support the .ImageContent or .TextureContent properties, preview your new image directly on the instance without having to save it as an asset!

      The preview is discarded when the tool is closed

      Image Resizing

      You can change the resolution of your image in the file dropdown
      Sometimes a texture doesn’t need to be high resolution so you can scale it down to save some memory usage!

This is great for making quick edits within Roblox Studio for tasks that doesn’t require any heavier/advanced external software.

Excited to see the future features coming to this plugin.

Unfortunately Roblox dosent allow CreatAssetAsync and CreateAssetVersionAsync to be used from store plugins

#4

Oh wow I did NOT know that…

I never thought that was something I would have to test for in the first place, I’ll add the information to the thread

Every buyers can private message me for a local copy of the plugin until the issue is resolved by Roblox

Is it possible to add Wand or Shape Tool maybe?

#8

Shape tools are definitely doable and in the to do list

But I haven’t really planned on adding any kind of selection tool yet, it would be hard to implement without rewriting almost all of the plugin

For what use case do you want to use the wand tool / selection for? getting rid of an image’s background? Separating different parts, distinct colors or areas of an image as separate layers?

#9

yea kind of, also maybe (not really necessary) gradient color tool?

#10

I might be able to add a selection tool in the future for that purpose but It won’t have the whole selection feature set like drawing bounds etc

Gradient tool is a good idea, added to the to do list aswell

Thank you! If the plugin proves itself useful make sure to leave a review, it would help a lot to push the plugin to the top of the store :pray:
