Create your Game/GUI from Photoshop to Unity (N-GUI) (Sprites, Buttons, Dynamic Text)

Hello everyone! My name is Bruno Mikoski, I’m the lead developer at Monster Juice! We make one plugin to export our gui from PSD directly to N-GUI in Unity3D! And we want some beta tests to make this tool even more useful to anyone!

Check the video of the Alpha Version and HOW TO:

Last version: (Alpha)
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bx3gW3IbiR_sdVlBRDlkTHJBaUE
Contents:

  • The Template PSD for try and understand the prefixes
  • The Javascript to Photoshop
  • The Monster Importer to Unity3D

*You need the NGUI to use this Tool, avaliable here:
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/114833-NGUI-(Next-Gen-UI)-demo-amp-final-feedback-request

* Features

  • Create your gui entirely in PSD and get the exact same result in Unity3D
  • Don’t waste more time adjusting positions!
  • Create objects objects with empty game objects for anchors
  • Up to 10x faster than create gui by hand
  • Update the positions by changing the PSD
  • Automatically create Widgets based on the prefix on PSD (like “btn” for the ImageButtons);

wow, that’s a pretty interesting tool. great work.

I’d be very interested in beta testing this if it works on Windows!

Thanks!

Yeah works!

Looks great. Will leave feedback as soon as I put it through the test :slight_smile:
Thanks a lot

It looks great, i will test it :smile:

Yep,

me too. :slight_smile:

Great Guys! I need some feedback and some ideas if this workflow works to everyone!

Downloaded the Alpha version.
I’ll try it tomorrow with cs5 + unity 3.5

Will this work with Photoshop Essentials or Gimp?

I’m not quite sure about that, but after we finish the work with the Photoshop, is just a little more of work to make this work with another programs.

Seems like this might have great potential… will give it a shot too… will give feedback if I do happen to get to it. TY very much.

Thanks and very nice work.

Would love to beta test this - it looks like it will make my UI frustrations evaporate away

I also wonder if I could use this for doing a fighting game HUD… such as lifebars… this should make my life easily.

Brilliant idea, will give it a go.
Thanks.

The alpha is already available for a try!

We are add everything the NGUI can do, so such a thing definitely gonna be available.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Please we need some feedback if work, and if everthing is clear to everyone!

I’d like to give it a go. Will be testing on iOS pro and OSX. Thanks!

Is already avaliable at the main post =)

For those with Photoshop Elements, this is not compatible because it relies on layer groups. Unfortunately Photoshop Elements does not support layer groups.

Even though I can’t use it right at the moment, thanks for your work anyway. It looks great. Maybe sometime in the future it will be tweaked to support other software.
